Capitals Re-Sign Defensemen Collins & Sloan

According to Tarik El-Bashir of the Washington Post, the Washington Capitals have re-signed defensemen Sean Collins and Tyler Sloan. Collins got a two-year extension and Sloan was re-signed for one year. Terms of both contracts were not disclosed. In 15 games last season, Collins scored one goal and one assist for two points, while Sloan scored one goal and four assists for five points in 26 games. Collins and Sloan played well for the Capitals last season when their defense became ravaged with injuries. Both players helped keep the team competitive until the injured players returned and played great roles as depth defensemen. It's no surprise that they were re-signed given their strong performances. Look for them to play the same roles again next season for the Capitals.
