The Washington Capitals waived Devante Smith-Pelly on Wednesday, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
The 26-year-old forward has recorded four goals and eight points in 54 games this season.
He re-signed with the Capitals on a one-year, $1-million contract last June after helping the team win the Stanley Cup.
Smith-Pelly notched seven goals in 24 playoff games last spring, matching his total during the 2017-18 regular season.
