Capitals re-sign Jurcina
The Washington Capitals have re-signed defenseman Milan Jurcina after going to arbitration.
He was awarded a one-year contract worth $1.375 million. He has played most of his career with Washington.
Jurcina played in 79 of the 82 games last season to lead all Capitals defensemen. He had three goals and a career-high 11 assists.
The defenseman also managed to block a team-high 131 shots, which may be the main reason for his over $400,000 raise.
