Capitals' Gabriel Carlsson: Links up with Caps

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

Carlsson put up nine points in 38 games with the Blue Jackets last season. The 25-year-old defenseman could have a chance to compete for a third-pairing spot in training camp, but the Capitals' defensive depth is solid, and he may need to spend some time at AHL Hershey.
