The Washington Capitals re-signed 29-year-old forward Mike Vecchione to a one-year, two way contract on Monday. The deal is worth $750k in the NHL and $275k in the AHL.
Vecchione made his Capitals debut on March 18, 2022, against the Carolina Hurricanes, posting three shots on goal in 5:06 of ice time.
The Washington Capitals made a couple of roster moves ahead of their game against the Dallas Stars, Sunday. The team has recalled forward Brett Leason and returned forward Mike Vecchione to Hershey.
Vecchione was recalled last Tuesday in place of the COVID-ineligible Lars Eller and got into his first NHL game since the 2016-17 season against the Carolina Hurricanes due to an injury to TJ Oshie.

Pregame, Peter Laviolette said the Capitals were once again “working through things” in the room. Now we know what that is.
TJ Oshie, who left Thursday’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets with a lower-body injury, will not play against the Metropolitan Division-leading Carolina Hurricanes tonight.
The Capitals’ Mike Vogel first reported the news on Twitter. Mike Vecchione, who was called up earlier in the week from Hershey, will replace Oshie in the lineup. It’ll be Vecchione’s first game as a Capital and his first in the NHL since April 9, 2017.
