The Washington Capitals signed free-agent defenseman Matt Roy to a six-year contract with a $5.75-million cap hit, the team announced Monday.

Roy, 29, tallied 25 points and posted a plus-21 rating while averaging almost 21 minutes of ice time in 81 games with the Los Angeles Kings last season. He accumulated 10.7 goals above replacement, per Evolving-Hockey.

Washington also inked forward Brandon Duhaime to a two-year pact with a $1.85-million cap hit, the team announced.

Duhaime, 27, totaled five goals and 13 points with the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche last year. He was dealt to the Avalanche before the trade deadline.

The Capitals traded defenseman Nick Jensen and a 2026 third-round pick to the Ottawa Senators for defenseman Jakob Chychrun earlier on Monday.

Washington is $3.6 million over the cap, according to CapFriendly.
