After a couple of disappointing seasons in Buffalo, Sheary has been solid for the Capitals in 2020, scoring 11 goals with eight assists (19 points) in 40 games. He earns a raise of $765K per season.
Hagel has had a terrific season-to-date but will likely miss at least a couple of games after being added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Friday. Phillip Kurashev was elevated to the Blackhawks second line with Hagel unavailable for Friday's practice.
McDonagh missed the last four games with a lower-body injury but head coach Jon Cooper said "things are looking good" for him to play on Thursday. McDonagh has collected two goals and six assists in 31 games this season.
