Capitals Sign Forward Boyd Gordon to One-Year Deal

The Washington Capitals have announced that they have re-signed center Boyd Gordon to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In 36 games last season with the Capitals, he had four goals and six assists for 10 points. He missed much of the 2009-10 season with a back injury. Not a bad signing for the Capitals, as Gordon is a good defensive forward. He's also good on faceoffs and is versatile, as he can play both center and on the wing. He doesn't have a lot of offensive ability and isn't a very consistent scorer, so he will likely continue to play on the Capitals' third or fourth lines next season.
