ARLINGTON, Va. - The Washington Capitals have re-signed forward Tomas Fleischmann to a one-year deal worth US$2.6 million, the team announced Tuesday.

The 26-year-old Fleischmann set career highs with 23 goals and 28 assists last season for the Presidents' Trophy winners, despite missing the first 11 games because of deep vein thrombosis in his leg.

He has 56 goals and 72 assists in five NHL seasons, all with Washington.
