Max Pacioretty to play again - tonight!

Well there's a player I never thought would return, but suddenly here he is.

I didn't even know he was with the Capitals.

Caps have managed to stay in the mix despite OV starting very slow and not having Patches. Will be interesting to see how their second half plays out.

OV has 2 goals in his last 2 games. He's on a new roll! Patches joining the team will only sky rocket OV to new heights!

Actually, I'm skeptical of how well this will pay out. Max Pacioretty hasn't played since January 19, 2022 and he only played 5 games last year and he was injured for much of the season before that too... How can he be much of an addition at his age after that much time off?

Pacioretty plays for the Capitals? Since when?

I missed something.

I think Vegas traded him to the Caps, he played a few games with WSH and then got injured.

Vegas traded him to Carolina in 2022. He played 5 games for the Hurricanes. He apparently signed as UFA with Washington on July 1.

They were in a spot at this time last season and then played like .300 hockey the rest of the way
