Capitals free agent forward Wojtek Wolski has signed a contract with Kontinental Hockey League club Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod, the team announced on Monday.

There aren’t a ton of internal decisions for Capitals general manager George McPhee to make this summer. He has four unrestricted free agents pending July 5. Defenseman Tom Poti and forward Wojtek Wolski won’t be back for sure. We’re unclear on the status of forwards Matt Hendricks and Mike Ribeiro.

Capitals defenseman Jeff Schultz has requested a trade, according to his agent, Jarrett Bousquet.

That was some glorious return from the All-Star break for the Wizards, now wasn’t it? From the scoreboard that didn’t work, including the time and shot clock normally kept above the backboards, to Wale getting in a feud with the Toronto Raptors broadcasters, who called him a local rapper and said he was ‘no Drake,’ to the random “Jor-dan Craw-ford!” chant that sprang to life late as the Wizards failed to generate any consistent offensive flow and as Crawford himself remained reclined at the end of the bench throughout the game.

I’m going to start one more post with Jordan Crawford even though he’s gone because there are some things about his departure that are applicable to the rest of the Wizards roster. If nothing else, he’s not the Washington player who has bounced in and out of coach Randy Wittman’s rotation this season.

With their 90-84 win at Air Canada Centre on Monday, the Wizards sort of vindicated the notion that who they are now is a team that’s better on the road than their record (5-22) would indicate. I say “sort of” because that was the epitome of ugly. But it was also a game in which the Wizards never trailed by more than three points. As bad as they looked offensively at times (20 turnovers), they still had 23 assists on 34 field goals and made the Raptors, who shot 36.7 percent, look even worse.

There really is gold in them thar hills.

1. So here we are again. Last year the Capitals and the New York Rangers were tied 2-2 in a best-of-seven Stanley Cup playoff series and Washington was moments away from securing Game 5. Instead, a late Joel Ward penalty led to a game-tying goal by Brad Richards with just seconds remaining. Madison Square Garden exploded and Washington wilted in a devastating overtime loss. The Caps survived Game 6 at home, but ultimately were dispatched in a bitter Game 7 loss in New York.
