Dmitrij Jaskin was a defensive dynamo, capable of preventing scoring chances for a Washington Capitals fourth line that was in desperate need of defense.
As it turned out, Jaskin didn’t do a whole lot to answer those questions. Or at least, he wasn’t on the ice long enough to answer those questions.
In his first and almost assuredly only season in Washington, Jaskin played in 37 games where he registered two goals, eight assists and averaged 10:05 minutes of time on ice per game. His average time on ice was more than just two players (Travis Boyd at 9:55 and Nathan Walker at 8:09) per game.
