Ivan Miroshnichenko to make Capitals season debut on fourth line against Red Wings
"Miro will go in with Bogdan going down, head coach Spencer Carbery said Saturday morning. Miro has done a really good job down in Hershey thus far this year. We've sort of been following him from all the reports that we've gotten from the coaches down there. He's been competing extremely hard. Details getting better in his game. He's gotten off to a real good start, so we've sort of been tracking that and looking for an opportunity to get him up and get him into our lineup at some point."
"We're going to start [Miroshnichenko] there, Carbery said. He's played with Dowder and Dewey before. I don't know, I'm throwing this out there, but I'm going to guess around 10, maybe 15 games with them. I've said this before, for a call-up player, it's a really good line to play on.

The Washington Capitals recalled 2022 first-round pick Ivan Miroshnichenko from the AHL Hershey Bears, sending Bogdan Trineyev back to Hershey. Miroshnichenko has 12 games and nine points (4g, 5a) this season for the Bears and 39 career NHL games with 10 points (3g, 7a). He was among final training camp cuts and missed just over a month with an upper-body injury while in Hershey. Miroshnichenko will play right wing on the Capitals' fourth line alongside Nic Dowd and Brandon Duhaime. Hendrix Lapierre is a healthy scratch and rookie Ryan Leonard remains on injured reserve.
