#Caps announce they've resigned D Jack Hillen to 2-year extension worth $1.4 million
Hillen is in his sixth NHL season and his first in Washington. Hillen is a solid stay-at-home defenseman meaning he is not fantasy relevant. He has just seven points in 65 games over the last two seasons.
Trotz may go 7 D with Hillen in today as an option.
The Minnetonka, Minnesota native has two goals and six points in 38 games with the Preds. Look for him to draw in on the blue line if Suter is not healthy enough to play.
The Nashville Predators continue to stock defensemen on two-way contracts with the addition of Jack Hillen who played for the Islanders for parts of three seasons.
