The Arizona Coyotes have traded forward Johan Larsson to the Washington Capitals in exchange for a 2023 third-round pick, the team announced Monday.
The Coyotes are retaining 50% of Larsson's $1.4 million cap hit.
Larsson has missed 19 games after undergoing sports hernia surgery in early February. The team originally projected he would miss eight weeks with the injury, so he could rejoin the Capitals soon.
The 29-year-old had six goals and nine assists in 29 games with the Coyotes this season. Larsson's scored 52 goals and has added 74 assists in 474 career games.
