Aaron Volpatti News

The Capitals have recalled Aaron Volpatti from Hershey (AHL).

Volpatti, 29, has not played yet this season after starting the year on the non-roster injury list following offseason neck surgery. He was with Hershey for a three-game conditioning stint—he didn’t record a point and had six PIMS.

Those who know Volpatti will tell you there’s something special about the guy who’s in the final year of a two-year, free-agent contract. The 15 NHL games Volpatti played last season only strengthened his resolve to become a mainstay and not an afterthought when all the preseason hype was about newcomers Steve Pinizzotto, Mike Duco and Mark Mancari plus departed veteran Victor Oreskovich vying to be Maxim Lapierre’s wingers.

Volpatti scored four goals over the last two years split between the Manitoba Moose and Vancouver Canucks. Don't expect anything more than PIM from the gritty forward.
