The Washington Capitals have re-signed forward Justin Sourdif to an eight-year contract, according to multiple reports. The Capitals announced the deal on social media, and hockey reporter Chris Johnston confirmed the contract carries an average annual value of $6.35 million.
Sourdif, 24, is a center who has played 82 games in his career, recording 16 goals, 20 assists, and 36 points. In the 2025-26 season, he posted 15 goals, 20 assists, and 35 points in 78 games, with a plus-17 rating. His role with the Capitals is that of a middle-six forward.
Later reports added that the deal was finalized on the final day where eight-year contracts could be completed, locking in Sourdif before he becomes a restricted free agent. The Capitals’ general manager, Chris Patrick, was quoted in a report about the extension, though no further details were provided.
The signing provides the Capitals with a long-term commitment to a player who has shown consistent offensive production over the past season. Sourdif’s contract is expected to impact the team’s salary cap for the next eight years.
