<p><a href="http://twitter.com/kcarrera/statuses/25705672163">According to Katie Carrera</a> of the Washington Post, the Capitals have signed center Matt Hendricks to a one-year deal. Hendricks was in camp on a try out with the club, and has earned his way onto the roster.</p>
<p>His performance in the team's first preseason game was likely a big reason why the club decided to keep him on board. <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/capitalsinsider/matt-hendricks/matt-hendrickss-hat-trick-lead.html">Hendricks had a hat trick</a>, scoring half of the team's six goal against Columbus.</p>
<p>Hendricks is a veteran who has played his entire career either with minor league affiliates, and the Colorado Avalanche. Last year, while playing in 56 games, Hendricks recorded nine goals.</p>
<p>Hendricks is a center who should help out with the depth at the position, one of the Capitals biggest weaknesses.</p>
<p>Terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed.</p>
