The Capitals have signed Justin Sourdif to a two-year deal worth $825K AAV ($1.65M total).
The Capitals acquired Sourdif's RFA rights a couple of days ago and wasted no time inking him to a two-year deal. The 23-year-old winger spent most of the 2024-25 season in the AHL, where he had 34 points (16G / 18A) in 43 games, but he could be a candidate to join the Capitals' fourth line in 2025-26.
The Capitals have acquired Justin Sourdif from the Panthers for a 2026 2nd Round Pick and a 2027 6th Round Pick.
Sourdif was a third-round pick (No.87 overall) in the 2020 NHL Draft, who has appeared in just four NHL games since. In 2024-25, he spent most of the season in Charlotte (AHL), where he had 34 points (16G / 18A) in 43 games. Sourdif will likely battle for a bottom-6 role with the Capitals in training camp.

Washington has signed Ryan Chesley to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Chesley was Washington's 2022 2nd round pick (37th overall) and has signed a three-year, entry-level contract on Friday. The 21-year-old defenseman spent 2024-25 with the University of Minnesota (NCAA) where he captained the team and put up eight goals and 20 points in 40 total games played.
Line Change
Kampf is expected to be a healthy scratch for Game 6 on Friday in Florida.
Kampf's only playoff appearance was Game 5 vs. Florida, but he will take a seat yet again in the press box as Calle Jarnkrok returns to Toronto's lineup for Game 6. Kampf had five goals and 13 points in the bottom-six role during the regular season but has struggled to find himself in Toronto's lineup for the playoffs.
Lindgren (personal) will serve as the backup to Logan Thompson for Game 5.
Lindgren will return to serve as Washington's backup after missing the last three games for personal reasons. Lindgren has made one relief appearance so far this post-season, allowing one goal on five shots in a 6-3 loss to the Canadiens.
Goalie Start
Thompson will start Game 5 against the Capitals.
The Capitals enter a must-win Game 5, trailing the Hurricanes 3-1 in the series, and will roll with Thompson between the pipes. The Hurricanes have outscored the Capitals 12-6 through four games. Thompson has allowed four goals in consecutive games (0-2) but will look to rebound in Game 5 at home. The 28-year-old netminder has a 2.45 GAA and .918 SV% through nine games (5-4) this postseason. The Capitals enter Thursday's contest as +147 home underdogs against the Hurricanes.

Lindgren (personal) will be a game-time decision for Game 5 on Thursday.
Lindgren will likely serve as the backup if he can suit up. However, the Capitals recalled Clay Stevenson on Thursday morning, giving the Capitals, who already have Mitchel Gibson on the roster, some options for who will backup Logan Thompson.
Stevenson has been recalled from Hershey (AHL).
Stevenson made his NHL debut during the regular season, posting a 5.00 GAA and .868 SV% in one game (0-1-0). The undrafted 26-year-old goalie spent most of the 2024-25 campaign in the AHL, posting a 2.94 GAA and .888 SV%.
