ARLINGTON, Va. -- Marcus Johansson was back in Toronto for another arbitration hearing with the Washington Capitals, but this time he didnt have to go through with it.Hours before Johansson and the Capitals were set to go to arbitration for the second time, they agreed on a $13.75 million, three-year deal. The 25-year-old Swedish forward will count $4.583 million against the salary cap, almost exactly between the two sides arbitration asking prices but on a longer contract.Johansson got as close as the entrance to the hotel where NHL arbitration cases are heard before the deal got done.I dont think anyone wants to go to arbitration. Thats kind of a last resort, Johansson said on a conference call from Toronto on Wednesday. It was a little tight schedule before the meeting, but Im really happy that we worked it out.Johansson will make $4.25 million next season and $4.75 million in 2017-18 and 2018-19 on a contract thats similar to the one former teammate Mathieu Perreault signed as a restricted free agent with the Winnipeg Jets earlier this summer.The $4.583 million cap hit fits into Washingtons offseason plan with one more restricted free agent left to sign in defenseman Dmitry Orlov. The Capitals won the Presidents Trophy as the leagues top regular-season team a year ago and will have almost the same group back to take another shot at the Stanley Cup next season.To be able to keep the team, its hard, Johansson said. Its hard for everyone. Im just happy we were able to figure it out in the end. To be able to be part of this team for three more years, thats important to me. I think both parties are happy with it. Theres obviously the cap in the NHL and they have to find a way to stay under it.Johansson had 17 goals and 29 assists for 46 points in 74 games last season. In 419 regular-season NHL games, Johansson has 78 goals and 154 assists for 232 points and has added 22 points in the playoffs.Under coach Barry Trotz, Johansson has developed his all-around game and improved his production by going to the net more.Thats been a part of my game that Ive been working on and trying to score more goals and get more pucks to the net, Johansson said. You always want to be part of it and score goals. Thats always a fun part. But as long as you feel youre improving on it and getting better, I think thats a sign that youre moving in the right direction.Signing him for three years takes some of the mystery out of next summer, when the Capitals have forwards T.J. Oshie, Justin Williams and Daniel Winnik and defenseman Karl Alzner as unrestricted free agents and forwards Evgeny Kuznetsov and Andre Burakovsky as restricted free agents.This offseason Washington acquired center Lars Eller in a trade with the Montreal Canadiens and let long-time left winger Jason Chimera leave in free agency. Johansson said the Capitals continue to make moves to improve.Mac has done a great job getting us what we need, he said. I think last year we showed that were really contending. ... This is a team and a group that I really think we can win with. Walt Frazier Jersey . You can watch the game live on TSN at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt.

Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Charlie Adam scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them off. There are many ways to explain Leicester Citys season-long fall from the highest of the Premier League summits. From having to juggle Champions League commitments to better-prepared opponents not willing to let the Foxes dictate tempo on the counter and sometimes, to just good old-fashioned luck and timely goals.But one key reason is their road struggles compared to last season, and Leicester City again attempt to break their road duck Saturday against a Stoke City team that is dealing with fatigue on a short turnaround.Last season, Leicester City (4-4-8) racked up 39 points outside King Power Stadium with 11 wins and six draws in 19 matches. Its been a far cry this time around as the Foxes have just one point from eight, and their 19 goals shipped exceed their total from all of their title-winning 2015-16 campaign (18).Its part of a 10-game road winless spell (0-3-7) in league play that spans back to their 2-0 victory at Sunderland on April 10. On Tuesday, Leicester City were unable to find the back of the net and succumbed to a 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth.It was a stark contrast to last weekend, when the Foxes showed the life and vitality of last season in storming to a 4-2 victory over Manchester City. Their Jekyll-and-Hyde like style from home to road in league play continues to confound manager Claudio Ranieri, who was able to guide them to the knockout stages of Champions League.I know in our eight matches away, we have got only one point, but I think we can improve, Ranieri insisted. Im sure in the next eight matches, we will do something more. I think the result is too harsh for us because we deserved more. In the first half in our best moment, we had a chance to score with a corner. Then, they scored a goal.In the second half, we created more chances than them, but we didnt score. Then, Bournemouth won. Well done to Bournemouth, but I think (Tuesday) we deserved a draw.If Ranieris assessment is correct, it was one of the few times the Foxes deserved anything on the road. Theyve lost three on the spin on the road since getting that lone point against Tottenham Hotspur, but a major piece of the puzzle could return for this match as first-choice goalkeeper Kasper Schemichel appears to have fully healed from his hand injury.Kasper Schemichel trained very well today, Ranieri said at his Thursday news conference. (Thursday), he made a little game between us. I want to see the reaction (Friday) but the hand is OK. The goalkeeperr isnt so different because he has to understand the line of the ball and reactions.ddddddddddddMidfielder Danny Drinkwater could also be back in the starting XI. Hes been sidelined the past two matches after picking up a knock in the final Champions League group contest at FC Porto on Dec. 7.Stoke City (5-5-6) moved four points ahead of the title-holders after drawing Southampton 0-0 on Wednesday. But the Potters paid a heavy price for that point, playing 67 minutes with 10 men after striker Marko Arnautovic was given a direct red card for a high tackle on Sofiane Boufal.The sending off carries a three-match ban for the Austria international at the worst possible time for Stoke, who play table-toppers Liverpool and Chelsea after this contest. Manager Mark Hughes was a figure of frustration as he vented on what he thought was a harsh decision by referee Anthony Taylor.There is no point in us even contemplating appealing the decision because we wouldnt win the appeal anyway -- you never really do, and if anything that would probably add another match onto it, he told Stokes official website. When you have important fixtures coming up, you always want to have your best players available and now, unfortunately, we are going to have to do without one of our key guys.Arnautovic has only one goal in league play this season, and Hughes top options to replace him include Jonathan Walters, Mame Diouf, Wilfried Bony, Bojan Krkic. Of that quartet, only Bony and Krkic have scored more than one goal. Another possibility is Hughes giving 35-year-old veteran Peter Crouch his first league start since Aug. 27 against Everton.The energy expended to salvage that point Wednesday could also mean changes in the midfield. Glenn Whelan and Joe Allen both played the full 90 minutes, and Charlie Adam was lifted on 88 minutes. Xherdan Shaqiri will be the freshest of the four since he was sacrificed in the 57th minute for Diouf.Leicester City took four points from the two matches last season, rallying for a 2-2 draw in the corresponding fixture on second-half goals by Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy. Krkic and Arnautovic struck for the Potters in the first 20 minutes.The Foxes, who are 2-1-1 in top-flight matches versus Stoke, were 3-0 winners at home in the most recent meeting as Drinkwater, Vardy and Leonardo Ulloa bagged goals.
