Capitals Acquire Liljegren from Sharks

0:00On this March 6, here's what's making headlines for the NHL. The Washington Capitals are picking up defensemen Timothy Lil Jegren from the San Jose Sharks in a trade reported just before the NHL deadline on March 6th at 3pm, Eastern. Lil Jegren has bounced in and out of the shark's line of this season with injuries and scratches, but when he plays, he logs heavy minutes around 20 minutes and 8 seconds per game on the top pairs. The sharks grab him from the Toronto Maple Leafs last year and is wrapping up a two-year deal worth $6 million with a $3 million dollar cap hit. This move bolsters Washington's blue line as they sit with 69 points in a 31 win, 25 loss, 7 overtime loss record in the Metropolitan Division. The capitals face the Boston Bruins next on March 7th at 12.30pm, Eastern, while San Jose eyes its other free agents like Mario Ferraro and Alex Nadelchkovich heading into the

1:00off season. The daily news now is powered by our sponsor Comfort you can hear sound you can relax into
