The Washington Capitals have recalled Vincent Iorio from the AHL's Hershey Bears as they address depth issues on defense caused by injuries, placing Jakob Chychrun on IR.
Iorio, a 21-year-old defenseman, was part of the Capitals' training camp cuts and has been performing well in Hershey, recording three points in nine games this season.
With both Chychrun and Matt Roy on IR, Iorio's right-handedness provides depth on the right side of the Capitals' defense, crucial for their ongoing lineup adjustments.
Chychrun's return remains uncertain due to an upper-body injury, impacting the Capitals' roster decisions and their strategy as they navigate the current season.
