Marek Svatos, who played 102 games in the American Hockey League with the Hershey Bears, died Saturday at the age of 34.

Upon arriving to Hershey, Stan Galiev tried to focus on the positives. He wasn’t in the NHL anymore, but maybe that wasn’t all bad news.

The Washington Capitals and the Hershey Bears have extended their affiliation agreement through the 2019-20 season.

Chris Bourque is a more mature – but still driven and competitive – player in his fourth separate stint in the Washington organization.
