The Washington Capitals have placed right-winger Spencer Smallman on waivers, allowing him the chance to join the AHL's Hershey Bears if he clears. The 28-year-old forward signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Capitals earlier this year.

In the previous season, Smallman showcased his skills with the Colorado Eagles, scoring 21 points in 53 games. His impressive shooting percentage and penalty minutes demonstrate his active role on the ice. Smallman has a solid AHL career, contributing to teams like the Chicago Wolves and the Charlotte Checkers.
