Graovac Re-Assigned to Bears

December 8, 2017

The Washington Capitals announced today that forward Tyler Graovac has been re-assigned to the Hershey Bears. The announcement was made by Washington’s senior vice president and general manager Brian MacLellan. 

Graovac, 24, returns to Hershey after previously joining the Bears on Nov. 14 on a long-term conditioning loan. During the loan, Graovac appeared in four games with Hershey, scoring two points (one goal, one assist) with a +2 rating. In 206 career AHL games with Iowa and Hershey, Graovac has scored 104 points (50 goals, 54 assists). 

The forward has skated in five games with the Capitals this season. The 6-foot-5, 208-pound center was acquired by the Capitals from the Minnesota Wild on Jun. 14 for a fifth-round selection in the 2018 NHL Draft. 

The Bears hit the ice tonight to battle the Lehigh Valley Phantoms at the PPL Center. The puck drops at 7:05 p.m. and Zack Fisch has the call on the Bears Radio Network.
