Capitals acquire prospect Sourdif from Panthers for 2nd, 6th-round picks

The Washington Capitals acquired forward Justin Sourdif from the Florida Panthers for a 2026 second-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round selection, the teams announced Thursday.

Sourdif tallied 16 goals and 34 points in 43 AHL contests this campaign to rank second on the Charlotte Checkers in points per game. He added four goals and 10 points in the AHL playoffs, good for third on Charlotte, as the Checkers lost in the Calder Cup Final.

The 23-year-old is a pending restricted free agent and will require waivers starting next season.

Sourdif has played four NHL games and scored his first goal in the league on Feb. 25 in his only contest with the Panthers this season.

Sourdif was drafted in the third round, 87th overall, by Florida in 2020. He's accumulated 35 goals, 96 points, and 152 penalty minutes in 149 career AHL contests over parts of three campaigns.
