In a report from CapFriendly, the Washington Capitals agreed to a one-year, $1.05 million extension for Chandler Stephenson.
The Capitals or Stephenson don’t have to worry about any arbitration hearings. This deal came just six days before Stephenson’s scheduled hearing date of August 1. Stephenson’s case was the final arbitration case after Christian Djoos had a hearing on Monday.
A speedy bottom-six forward with defensive upside, Stephenson experienced a bad case of the sophomore slump. Stephenson posted 11 points (5 goals, 6 assists) in 64 games in 2018-19.
He also had the lowest Corsi-For percentage at even strength at 44.
