During the 2024-25 NHL season, the Washington Capitals excelled overall but faced challenges with their third line, particularly with player Hendrix Lapierre. Despite his accomplishments as AHL Playoff MVP and a Calder Cup winner, Lapierre's NHL stint was disappointing, as he failed to score in 27 games and contributed only assists. His poor performance led to a demotion to the AHL, where the coaching staff hoped he could regain his confidence and improve his game.
"With the way the season's gone and the depth at the center position and with Lappy's minutes, being in the stands, we felt as an organization it was best for him to get playing in Hershey, in the AHL." - Spencer Carbery
