Capitals G Grubauer inks one-year contract

The Washington Capitals re-signed restricted free agent goaltender Philipp Grubauer to a one-year, $1.5 million contract, the team announced Thursday.


Grubauer posted a 13-6-2 mark with three shutouts, a 2.04 goals-against average and .926 save percentage in 24 games last season with the Capitals.


The 25-year-old German joined workhorse Braden Holtby in capturing the William M. Jennings Trophy, an award given to the goalkeeper(s) having played a minimum of 25 games for the team with the fewest goals scored against it.


Grubauer owns a 28-21-8 record with three shutouts, a 2.25 GAA and .923 save percentage in 66 career games since being acquired by Washington with a fourth-round pick of the 2010 draft.
