The Washington Capitals are apparently still sizing up their options in net. The team announced on Sunday that they have signed a professional tryout agreement with Craig Anderson.
Anderson, 39, played with the Ottawa Senators for the last decade.
From the Caps:
#Caps sign goaltender Craig Anderson to a professional tryout agreement. Anderson, 39, registered an 11-17-2 record with a 3.25 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 34 games with Ottawa last season.

The professional tryout agreement allows Anderson to train with the Capitals before the season begins.
Earlier this week, Caps GM Brian MacLellan said he anticipated a goalie tandem of Ilya Samsonov and Vitek Vanacek. That was Plan B after Henrik Lundqvist, the team’s big offseason signing, opted out of the season due to a heart condition.
Anderson has not been a star goaltender since the last lockout-shortened season in 2013, so for now let’s consider this Plan C.
