Capitals Re-Sign Defenseman Schultz to One-Year Deal

The Washington Capitals have announced that they have re-signed defenseman Jeff Schultz to a one-year contract worth $715,000. In 64 games last season with the Capitals, he scored one goal and 11 assists for 12 points. In 174 career games, all with the Capitals, he has six goals and 27 assists for 33 points. Not a bad depth signing for the Capitals, as Schultz has good size and decent defensive skills. He will likely continue to play his role as a top-six defenseman for the team next season.
