Capitals recall forward Ivan Miroshnichenko from AHL's Hershey Bears

"Miroshnichenko, 22, has appeared in four games with the Capitals this season. In 38 games with Hershey, Miroshnichenko has recorded 31 points (12g, 19a). The 6'1", 205-pound forward ranks tied for second on the Bears in power-play goals (4), tied for third in goals and fourth in points."

"Ivan Miroshnichenko is back in the NHL after the Washington Capitals recalled him from the AHL's Hershey Bears on Friday. Miroshnichenko joins a Capitals team stunned by the trade departures of two key members of their roster, John Carlson and Nic Dowd, at the 2026 Trade Deadline."

"Despite the Capitals already carrying 23 players, Miroshnichenko could be recalled because the league's roster limit is no longer in effect post-deadline. In his third AHL season with the Bears, Miroshnichenko has recorded 31 points (12g, 19a) in 38 games."
