McIlrath signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Capitals on Wednesday.

McIlrath has never shown much of a scoring touch, but the tough-as-nails defenseman had eight points and 70 PIM in 29 games with AHL Grand Rapids last season. The 29-year-old will likely assume a similar defensive depth role with AHL Hershey in 2021-22.
