Dany Sabourin was pitiful Saturday night for Hershey, allowing eight goals on 30 shots. Braden Holtby is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, so Sabourin got the start. At this point in his career, he's no more than a veteran AHL player.

Dany Sabourin has been put on waivers by the Washington Capitals. Assuming the NHL and players' union eventually agree on a CBA before the 2012-13 campaign is lost, Sabourin is expected to spend the season in the AHL. If there's a lockout, then that might make it more difficult for Sabourin to secure a spot on AHL Hershey's roster.

Dany Sabourin has agreed to a one-year contract extension with the Washington Capitals. He was slated to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 and has spent the past two seasons with the AHL's Hershey Bears. Sabourin is expected to stay as a veteran presence again in 2012-13 with prospect Philipp Grubauer likely getting most of the playing time.

The Capitals recalled Dany Sabourin from Hershey of the AHL. Sabourin was called up a couple of times this season, though he did not play in an NHL game. The 31-year-old has appeared in 57 NHL games with the Flames, Penguins and Canucks. He was 18-12-5 with a 2.76 GAA for the Bears this season.

Dany Sabourin has been called up from the minors. Tomas Vokoun and Michal Neuvirth are both questionable for the start of the playoffs, so the Capitals are calling up Sabourin for insurance purposes. If both Vokoun and Neuvirth are unavailable, Sabourin will serve as Braden Holtby's understudy.

Dany Sabourin, a journeyman goaltender for Hershey of the American Hockey League, told the Patriot-News on Friday night that he had been recalled to back up Braden Holtby in New York today. Both of the Caps' main goalies, Tomas Vokoun and Michal Neuvirth, are injured.

Dany Sabourin was reassigned to the AHL on Monday. However, with Michal Neuvirth unlikely to dress because of a sore foot the Capitals will probably recall Sabourin or Braden Holtby to serve as Tomas Vokoun's backup on Tuesday night against Florida.
