The Washington Capitals have activated forward Anthony Mantha from long-term injured reserve, the team announced.
Mantha hasn't played since Nov. 4 after undergoing shoulder surgery. He'll return to the lineup Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes.
The 27-year-old collected six points in 10 games before getting hurt. Washington acquired Mantha from the Detroit Red Wings last season.
In corresponding moves, the Capitals placed forward Joe Snively on IR and Carl Hagelin on LTIR.
