Spencer Carbery says Hendrix Lapierre's demotion to AHL is because Capitals want him to play rather than be healthy-scratched in NHL
Briefly

"Yeah, with Lars being healthy and ready to play, it put us in a spot where [we] had to make a roster decision. And just 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."
"The 22-year-old Lapierre has played wing in some games the last two seasons, but Carbery has been candid about not loving that fit in the past. Ivan Miroshnichenko, a natural winger, remains with Washington despite also being waivers exempt and, unlike Lapierre, not making the team out of training camp."
