On Thursday, the Carolina Hurricanes announced that they had appointed former Washington Capital Justin Williams as their captain, heading into the 2018-19 NHL season.

The three-time Stanley Cup champion inked a two-year deal with the Canes after his contract with the Capitals came to an end following the 2016-17 season.

The 36-year-old forward, who expressed his frustration at how the Canes 2017-18 season ended, will become the franchise’s 16th captain, and just the eighth since the team moved to North Carolina.

Jordan Staal and Justin Faulk, who were co-captains for the 2017-18 season, will now serve as alternate captains.

Williams scored 16 goals and tallied 35 assists in 82 games with the Hurricanes in 2017-18. He ranked third on the team in both points and assists.
