The Washington Capitals, the National Hockey League affiliate of the Hershey Bears, announced today that they have recalled forward Hendrix Lapierre from Hershey. The announcement was made by Washington's president and general manager Brian MacLellan.
Lapierre, 21, has tallied three assists in six games this season for Hershey. The native of Gatineau, Quebec played 60 games for Hershey last year in his rookie campaign, notching 30 points (15g, 15a).
