We've got four more Washington Capitals prospects to look forward to this upcoming season ahead of both rookie and training camp, respecively.
Vincent Iorio
Vincent Iorio is calm on defense and took some big steps forward in his second professional season, writes Cami Kepke, getting more reps in the regular season and Stanley Cup playoffs while the Hershey Bears repeated as Calder Cup champions. The six foot three, 205 pound blue liner recorded four goals and 10 assists for 14 points in 60 regular season games with the Bears leading them with a +26 plus/minus rating.
He also finished fourth in points among defenders showing poise like a quarterback. He earned a call up in late March and the 21 year old averaged just under 10 minutes of ice time in six contests.
Iorio made his playoff debut with the Caps against the New York Rangers but was sidelined with a hit. He did however return to the Herhsey Bears. He was selected in the second round of the 2021 NHL Entry Drafft and played four seasons with the Brandon Wheat Kings, recording 82 points with 21 goals and 61 assists in over 191 career regular season games.
We are looking forward to catching Iorio on the ice as more players trickle back into town.
