WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Washington Capitals have recalled center Jakub Klepis from the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League (AHL), vice president and general manager George McPhee announced today.
Klepis, 22, played 35 games for the Capitals this season and tallied two goals and six assists before being assigned to Hershey last Saturday. Klepis suited up for the Bears yesterday and had an assist in helping the team to a 4-1 victory against Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
