(Nick Wass/Associated Press)While the rest of the NHL went down to the wire of Monday’s trade deadline, the Washington Capitals’ war room was quiet. He traded a 2019 third-round draft pick and a 2020 conditional sixth-round selection to Los Angeles for Hagelin on Thursday. That came a few hours after the trade, when Jensen was re-signed for four years and $10 million. “I think he’s slowly getting his confidence back,” MacLellan said. The Carolina Hurricanes and Pittsburgh Penguins are also just five points shy of the Capitals and making a postseason push.
