Capitals place forward on waivers to make room for Backstrom and Wilson
According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Washington Capitals have placed 27-year-old forward Joe Snively on waivers for the purpose of sending him to the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League.
Snively, a native of Herndon (Virginia), is on waivers on Saturday because the Capitals needed to clear two roster spots for the returns of Nicklas Backstrom and Tom Wilson. The first roster spot was cleared not long ago when Alexei Protas was assigned to Hershey.
In six games for the Capitals this season, Snively has one assist, no penalty minutes and has an even-rating.
The Capitals will be back in action on Sunday evening when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets. As mentioned, Nicklas Backstrom and Tom Wilson will both be making their season debut.
