Capitals Recall Ivan Miroshnichenko, Reassign Bogdan Trineyev as Winger Set for Red Wings Debut
Washington turns to a healthy Ivan Miroshnichenko to bolster forward depth during an injury stretch.
Overview
- The Capitals recalled Ivan Miroshnichenko from AHL Hershey and loaned Bogdan Trineyev back, keeping the active roster at 23.
- Head coach Spencer Carbery said Miroshnichenko will play Saturday against Detroit on the fourth line with Nic Dowd and Brandon Duhaime.
- Miroshnichenko has nine points in 12 games for Hershey this season after missing just over a month with an upper-body injury.
- Trineyev appeared in two NHL games, debuting Dec. 13 at Winnipeg, and has 12 points in 16 games with Hershey.
- Carbery described the Dowd–Duhaime unit as a good entry point for the call-up and estimated Miroshnichenko could skate about 10–15 games with that group.
