Capitals sign Conor Sheary to 1-year deal

The Washington Capitals signed forward Conor Sheary to a one-year, $735,000 deal, the team announced Tuesday.

Sheary spent the last two seasons with the Buffalo Sabres before being traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins at last season's trade deadline. He totaled nine goals and 10 assists in 55 games with Buffalo last year and one goal and three helpers in eight contests with Pittsburgh.
