## Resource

Washington Capitals bet big on grit, signing Vincent Desharnais to a four-year deal in a bold move to toughen up their blue line. Did GM Chris Patrick fix a long-standing defensive issue with this targeted addition, or is puck movement still a weakness as the team eyes another Stanley Cup push with Alex Ovechkin?
