Clarke scored three goals and added an assist in AHL Hershey's 5-2 win over Rockford on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Clarke had been limited to one goal over his previous nine outings before Sunday's rare burst of offense. The 24-year-old winger is up to nine goals, 14 points, 75 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 27 appearances. While the Capitals are dealing with some injuries at the NHL level, Clarke hasn't been consistent enough to be a top option for a call-up.

Clarke scored twice on three shots in AHL Hershey's 5-4 loss to Lehigh Valley on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Clarke has had a decent start to the AHL season with three goals in five games. His offense slid last year with Iowa, where he had 16 goals and 37 points in 64 regular-season outings, down from point totals of 49 and 58 from the previous two campaigns with Utica. That's not a positive trend to see from a scoring winger who is now on his third NHL organization. The Capitals have few NHL-ready prospects waiting in the wings, but with a strong crop of forwards in DC, it's unlikely Clarke gets much of a chance to contribute with the big club this year.

Clarke was waived by Washington on Wednesday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Clarke recorded 16 goals and 37 points in 64 regular-season appearances with AHL Iowa in 2024-25. The 24-year-old is expected to spend most, if not all, of the upcoming campaign in the minors.

Clarke signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Capitals on Wednesday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
EDGE Analysis
Clarke was an unrestricted free agent after Minnesota decided against presenting him with a qualifying offer Monday. The 24-year-old had 16 goals, 37 points and 36 PIM in 64 regular-season outings with AHL Iowa in 2024-25. He didn't appear in the NHL last year, but Clarke did log three regular-season games with New Jersey in 2023-24, recording no points, two PIM and six hits while averaging 11:23 of ice time.

Clarke was not given a qualifying offer by Minnesota on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Clarke never made an appearance for the Wild during his stint with the organization, having last played in the NHL during the 2023-24 campaign when he was with New Jersey. The 24-year-old winger did put together a strong season in the minors last year, racking up 16 goals and 21 helpers in 64 regular-season contests, so he should find a two-way deal somewhere next season.

Clarke (lower body) landed on waivers Tuesday for the purpose of assignment to the AHL.
EDGE Analysis
Clarke had been tending to a lower-body injury after blocking a shot in a preseason game on Sept. 29. The right-shot winger will likely fill a top-six role for AHL Iowa now that he's healthy. The 23-year-old did not make an appearance with the Wild before being waived Tuesday.

Clarke is expected to miss about a month with a lower-body injury, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Clarke sustained his injury while blocking a shot during Minnesota's preseason game against the Stars on Sept. 29, and he'll begin the year on season-opening injured reserve. Once he's healthy, the 23-year-old will likely split time between the NHL and AHL clubs, which limits his fantasy value.

Clarke signed a one-year, two-way contract with Minnesota on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Clarke made his NHL debut with the Devils last season, logging three NHL games in which he notched six hits, two shots and zero points. While the 23-year-old winger didn't contribute much offensively at the NHL level, he did produce in the minors with 49 points in 67 outings with AHL Utica. Given his two-way deal, Clarke figures to split his time between levels next year, which will limit his overall fantasy value.

Clarke was dealt to Minnesota from New Jersey in exchange for Adam Beckman on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Clarke made his NHL debut with the Devils on Jan. 6 and managed to play in three top-level games before he was returned to AHL Utica. Clarke finished with 25 goals and 49 points in 67 regular-season games with Utica last season. He'll likely once again spend most of his time in the minors in 2024-25.

Clarke was demoted to AHL Utica on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Clarke saw action in just three NHL games this season in which he recorded two shots, six hits and two PIM while averaging 11:23 of ice time. The 22-year-old winger will return to the minors to suit up for the Comets, who are longshots to secure a place in the Calder Cup playoffs. In his previous time with the minor-league club, the Minnesota native notched 24 goals and 23 assists in 64 contests. He'll look to bring that offensive upside to training camp in the fall to make the Opening Night roster.
