Capitals' Spencer Smallman: Three-point effort in AHL win
Rotowire
Smallman scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Hershey's 5-2 win over Cleveland on Thursday.
Smallman had gone four games without a point after getting demoted from the Capitals following a week-long stint as an extra in the NHL. The 29-year-old doubled his AHL point total for the year, and he now has six points and 18 shots on net over 11 contests for the Bears. He's a career minor-leaguer and probably won't see much time with the Capitals moving forward.

Capitals' Spencer Smallman: Re-ups with team
Rotowire
Smallman inked a two-year, two-way contract with Washington on Tuesday.
Smallman has yet to make his NHL debut despite eight years toiling away in the minors with various clubs. For AHL Hershey this year, the 28-year-old winger notched nine goals and 24 assists in 55 contests. At this point, even if Smallman does earn a promotion at some point, he will likely be a career minor-leaguer, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy.
