Vikman didn't receive a qualifying offer from the Capitals, and he'll become an unrestricted free agent Wednesday.
Vikman was traded to the Capitals from the Golden Knights in March, but he hasn't yet made his NHL debut. He made 18 regular-season appearances with AHL Henderson last year, going 8-7-3 with a 3.41 GAA and .866 save percentage. He'll attempt to land another roster spot ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. He logged just one appearance with ECHL South Carolina after the trade.
