J.J. Regan of NBC Sports Washington: When looking at the trade deadline history for Washington Capitals GM Brian MacLellan, he has a tendency to acquire defensemen.
Each year he’s been the Capitals GM he has acquired one, and it’s their weakest area for the team again this season.
Luke Fox of Sportsnet: Dmitrij Jaskin is leading the KHL goals and hits and is second in points. After not agreeing to terms with Washington Capitals, Jaskin signed a one-year deal. He will be a free agent this offseason.
