The Washington Capitals have officially loaned forward Mike Sgarbossa to the Hershey Bears of the AHL, as announced by general manager Chris Patrick. This move comes after Sgarbossa's limited appearances with the Capitals this season, where he played in two games.

In his time with the Bears, Sgarbossa has been productive, tallying nine points in seven games this season. His performance has positioned him as a key player for Hershey, while also opening the door for Hendrix Lapierre to secure a regular spot in the Capitals' lineup.
