Capitals' Brett Leason: Promoted from minors

Leason was called up from AHL Hershey on Wednesday.

Leason could be pressed into service against the Stars on Wednesday if Tom Wilson (lower body) is unable to play. In his 62 regular-season appearances for the Ducks last year, the 26-year-old Leason notched five goals, 12 assists and 79 shots while averaging 12:59 of ice time.
