Washington Capitals forward prospect Alexander Suzdalev returned to the Regina Pats of the WHL on Tuesday. Suzdalev’s preseason training and start of the WHL season was paused so that he could participate in Capitals rookie camp and the first few days of the Capitals main training camp. He also played in the Capitals preseason opener against Buffalo on Sunday.
Suzdalev made his regular season debut with the Pats Thursday night against the Oil Kings in Edmonton. He recorded the primary assist on the overtime game-winner by Connor Bedard.

The Pats, playing their third game in four nights, fell to the Hitmen, 7-3. They return to action on Wednesday when they wrap their five-game road trip against the Wheat Kings in Brandon.
Suzdalev has a goal and an assist in three games played for the Pats so far this season.
The Capitals selected Suzdalev in the third-round (70th overall) of the 2022 NHL Draft. They acquired the pick as part of the trade that sent goaltender Vitek Vanecek to the New Jersey Devils on second day of the draft.
The Capitals announced on July 15, the last day of the team’s development camp, that they had signed Suzdalev to a three-year deal.
