Capitals sign veteran scorer Max Pacioretty to incentive-laden deal

Max Pacioretty signed a one-year contract with the Washington Capitals worth $2 million, with an additional $2 million in performance-based incentives.
Pacioretty has a history of Achilles tendon injuries, but the Capitals are taking a low-risk, high-reward approach with this signing.
The Capitals needed help scoring goals, despite having Alex Ovechkin, and Pacioretty can provide that.
Pacioretty had three goals in five games for the Hurricanes last season before his injury.
Pacioretty has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, playing only 44 games in the past two years due to multiple Achilles tendon tears.
