Capitals sign Sheary to 2-year, $3M extension
The Washington Capitals rewarded winger Conor Sheary with a two-year extension carrying an annual cap hit of $1.5 million, the team announced Wednesday.
The 28-year-old has recorded 11 goals and eight assists in 40 games this season while averaging 13:09 per contest. He's posted solid underlying numbers, too.
Conor Sheary (2x1.5m extension with Washington) is a good play-drive with a good shot; I wouldn't use him on the power-play very much. Good penalty differential. Very team-friendly deal. pic.twitter.com/P4dph0EBRF

The Caps signed Sheary to a one-year deal with a $735,000 cap hit while he was a free agent this past offseason.
The 5-foot-8, 179-pound forward was originally signed by the Pittsburgh Penguins as an undrafted free agent in 2014 following a standout NCAA career at UMass. Sheary won two Stanley Cups with the Pens in 2016 and 2017.
