Capitals' Ilya Kovalchuk: Dealt to D.C.

The Capitals acquired Kovalchuk from the Canadiens in exchange for a 2020 third-round pick Sunday.

Kovalchuk found new life in Montreal after he was released by the Kings earlier this season. In 22 games with the Canadiens, he tallied six goals and 13 points with a plus-6 rating. It'll be interesting to see where the 36-year-old winger slots into Washington's lineup.
