The team’s first-round pick from 2022 has earned his minutes during a crucible of a trip that has seen the Caps stay in the thick of the playoff race.
Capitals Coach Spencer Carbery has been impressed by the play of rookie wing Ivan Miroshnichenko: “He is earning his ice time and opportunity with the way that he’s playing.” For players on entry-level contracts, the jump from nine games to 10 is significant. If Miroshnichenko played nine games or fewer with the Capitals this season, his contract would slide, meaning that this season wouldn’t count as one of the three years on his entry-level contract.
Miroshnichenko scored his second goal in Wednesday’s 7-2 loss in Edmonton, then set up winger Tom Wilson for the game-tying goal against the Canucks on Saturday. The play emphasized more than just what Miroshnichenko can do on the ice; it served as proof of how far Miroshnichenko’s ability to communicate has come during the past several months.
Through a combination of watching movies with subtitles and working with a tutor, Miroshnichenko is making a concerted effort to learn English. It makes his life in North America easier off the ice, of course, but it’s also contributing to his increased comfort level on the ice.“It helps me a lot to learn English and communicate better with my partners,” Miroshnichenko said Sunday, using defenseman Alex Alexeyev as a translator.
