The Washington Capitals were already among the most physical teams in the league and they added even more grit Monday by signing Garnet Hathaway to a four-year, $6 million contract.
Hathaway had spent his entire NHL career with the Calgary Flames and is coming off his best season.
The winger led the Flames with 200 hits in 2018-19 to go along with his 11 goals and 56 penalty minutes.
Hathaway, whose cap hit amounts to $1.5 million annually, is now one of 10 players on the Caps locked up through the 2022-23 season.
