Monday morning, the Capitals recalled forward Paul Carey from AHL Hershey. The announcement comes on the heels of Sunday’s practice in which both Tom Wilson and TJ Oshie did not practice. Both are questionable to play Monday night in Montreal. Call-up Liam O’Brien is also in Montreal per a transaction on Friday.

During three games with the Caps earlier this season, Carey was a dependable player in both zones, tossing three shots on net. While in Hershey, Carey has been a dominant player, posting 25 points in 28 games. That also includes a 19-game point streak from October 26 to December 26.

The Washington Capitals have recalled forward Paul Carey from the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League (AHL), senior vice president and general manager Brian MacLellan announced today.

Carey, 28, made his 2016-17 season debut with the Capitals on Nov. 20 against Columbus and skated in three games with Washington this season. The 6’1”, 198-pound forward appeared in four games with the Capitals last season and scored the game-tying goal in the third period on Feb. 6 at New Jersey, marking his first NHL goal. Carey was selected by Colorado in the fifth round, 135th overall, in the 2007 NHL Draft and has registered two points (1g, 1a) in 29 career NHL games with Colorado and Washington.

Carey has registered 25 points (10g, 15a) in 28 games with the Hershey Bears this season and ranks tied for second on the team in goals, third in points and fifth in assists. In addition, Carey recorded a 19-game point streak from Oct. 26 to Dec. 26 (8g, 14a), marking the longest point streak in the AHL this season and tied for the third-longest point streak in Hershey history. Only Alexandre Giroux (2008-09: 23) and Wes Jarvis (1981-82: 20) recorded longer points streaks for the Bears. He has earned 152 points (65g, 87a) in 260 career AHL games with Lake Erie, Providence and Hershey.
