The Washington Capitals, the National Hockey League parent club of the Hershey Bears, announced that defenseman Justin Holl has been recalled from Hershey. The announcement was made by Washington senior vice president and general manager Chris Patrick.

Holl, 34, has appeared in three games with the Bears this season. He made his Hershey debut on Oct. 3 vs. Charlotte.

Originally drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in the second round (54th overall) of the 2010 NHL Draft, Holl has appeared in 238 career AHL games with Rockford, Toronto, Grand Rapids, and Hershey, collecting 82 points (22g, 60a).
