The Washington Capitals rewarded winger Conor Sheary with a two-year extension carrying an annual cap hit of $1.5 million, the team announced Wednesday.

The 28-year-old has recorded 11 goals and eight assists in 40 games this season while averaging 13:09 per contest. He's posted solid underlying numbers, too.

The Caps signed Sheary to a one-year deal with a $735,000 cap hit while he was a free agent this past offseason.

The 5-foot-8, 179-pound forward was originally signed by the Pittsburgh Penguins as an undrafted free agent in 2014 following a standout NCAA career at UMass. Sheary won two Stanley Cups with the Pens in 2016 and 2017.
