"Miroshnichenko arrives back in DC after playing two games for the Capitals in December before being returned to the Bears, firing three shots on goal and averaging 9:38 of ice time. The 2022 first-round draft pick has seven points (2g, 5a) in eight AHL games since then, including a two-point (1g, 1a) effort against the Cleveland Monsters last weekend. The 21-year-old Russian signed a two-year contract extension with the Capitals on Halloween."
""We had a chance to bring him up, but he probably wasn't going in the lineup right away, so better to leave him in Hershey playing versus bring him up to sit in the press box," Patrick said. "When he comes up, we want to try to get him in the lineup as much as possible. We'll keep looking at opportunities to get him up here, and see what he can do, and further evaluate him.""
