"Leason's loan to Hershey comes ahead of Tom Wilson's likely return to the team's lineup after missing seven games with a lower-body injury. Wilson remains on injured reserve for the time being, but can be activated whenever the Caps deem necessary, with a roster spot now open. Leason played six games for the Capitals in his second NHL stint with the team and first since his rookie 2021-22 season. He did not record a point and averaged 8:34 of ice time per game."
"The 26-year-old winger will head back to Hershey, where he had been one of the team's top players since signing with the Capitals in October. In 20 AHL games this season, Leason has recorded 14 points (6g, 8a). The Bears are currently on a road trip in Charlotte, but will be back home to play the Hartford Wolf Pack on Tuesday night."
