The Washington Capitals inked defenseman Rasmus Sandin to a five-year contract extension at an average annual value of $4.6 million, the club announced Wednesday.
Sandin would've been a restricted free agent with arbitration rights at season's end. The Swede, who turns 24 on Thursday, has 20 points - including 17 assists - in 52 games with the Capitals in 2023-24.
He also posted 20 points in 52 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs last season before being traded to Washington in February 2023.
