Washington Capitals senior writer Mike Vogel reported that Chandler Stephenson didn’t practice Monday, instead being held by the team for a roster move before Tuesday’s game with the San Jose Sharks.
Head coach Todd Reirden built up the suspense by saying that an announcement will come later in the day. TSN’s Darren Dreger then reported the news of the trade which came shortly after 10 p.m. If we’re talking west coast since the Caps are in California that’s shortly after 7.
Losing Chandler Stephenson will be a tough blow in the future.
