The Washington Capitals acquired forward Michael Raffl from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for a 2021 fifth-round pick previously acquired from the Vegas Golden Knights, the team announced.
The Flyers will also retain 25% of Raffl's salary.
Raffl has spent his entire career with the Flyers since arriving as an undrafted free agent in 2013. The winger has three goals and five assists in 34 games this season.
Washington made a big splash at the deadline by acquiring forward Anthony Mantha from the Detroit Red Wings in a blockbuster deal involving Jakub Vrana. The Capitals are currently in first place in the East Division.
