Golden Knights' Anthony Mantha: Dealt to Vegas
Rotowire
Mantha was traded from the Capitals to the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
Per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, Washington will receive a 2024 second-round pick and a 2026 fourth-round pick. Acquiring Mantha is likely to be the Golden Knights' big move at the trade deadline to supplement their forward depth. The winger has 20 goals and 14 assists over 56 outings for the Capitals this season, including seven power-play points. It's his best season since 2019-20. Once Mantha links up with the Golden Knights, he should be expected to fill a middle-six role and could potentially see some power-play time as well.

Rotowire
Mantha scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Coyotes.
The 29-year-old winger found the back of the net just 10 seconds into the third period, but the Capitals were already down 4-1 at that point. Mantha is up to 20 goals on the season, the first time he's reached that mark since 2018-19, and given that he'll be a free agent in the offseason, he could be one of the first players shipped out at the trade deadline if Washington gives up on its fading playoff hopes.
