The Washington Capitals have re-signed 23-year-old goaltender Garin Bjorklund to a one-year, two-way contract, enabling him to continue his development with the organization. The contract is valued at $775,000 at the NHL level and $110,000 in the AHL. Last season, Bjorklund excelled in the ECHL with the South Carolina Stingrays, posting a 21-4-3 record, a stellar 2.02 goals-against average, and a .927 save percentage, which positioned him among the league leaders.

His performance helped the Stingrays secure the Brabham Cup, recognizing them as the ECHL's top team during the regular season. Furthermore, his brief stint in the AHL with the Hershey Bears proved successful, as he maintained a 2-0-0 record. Bjorklund's impressive statistics and championship experience highlight his potential in the Capitals' goalie pipeline as they look to solidify their future in goal.
