Capitals' Alexander Alexeyev: Expected for development camp

Alexeyev (knee) is expected to be available for the Capitals' development camp in July, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

The update comes as a bit of a surprise after Alexeyev suffered what appeared to be a serious knee injury March 9 during Red Deer's playoff run. The 19-year-old blueliner tallied 43 points in 49 games with the Rebels and has the potential to be a solid top-four defenseman at the NHL level if everything pans out.
