Hunter Shepard, a 28-year-old goaltender for the Washington Capitals, cleared waivers and will continue his career with the AHL's Hershey Bears after an impressive previous season.
Shepard not only was a key player for Hershey, earning accolades such as AHL playoff MVP and AHL Goaltender of the Year, but he also set franchise records for the most shutouts in a single season.
In his first four NHL games, Hunter Shepard maintained a respectable record of 2-1-1, demonstrating his potential, although the Capitals will have a different starting duo this season.
Shepard's partnership with Clay Stevenson at Hershey proved to be successful, earning them recognition for allowing the fewest goals per game and setting franchise records for their performance.
