Urbom, a Devils draft pick, started the year with New Jersey before Washington claimed him off waivers. Things have come full-circle and Urbom is back with New Jersey after dressing in 20 games with the Caps (recorded 1G / 1A). In 14 career games with the Devils he has two goals.
Urbom will make his Capitals debut tonight after being claimed off of waivers last week. He had eight assists in 68 games in the AHL last season.
The Capitals add to their blueline depth by adding the 6-foot-5 former third round pick.
Urbom is a 6-foot-5, 215 lbs. defenseman who had eight assists in 68 games with the Albany Devils (AHL) last season.
Henrik Tallinder will come out in favor of Urbom. The 22-year-old will appear in his 14 career NHL game. He had eight assists in 68 games in the AHL this season.
Urbom had an assist in five games but is expendable with the Devils rostering seven healthy d-men.
Urbom has no points through three games and isn't really an offensive player.
Urbom had one goal through eight games last year and has not played a minute this season for the Devils. Keep an eye on him as he represents the future of the Devils' blue line.
Urbom scored a goal and six points in 21 AHL games. Expect him to be eased into the lineup.
Urbom didn't play last night and will go back to Albany for more seasoning.
Urbom scored a goal and six points in 18 games with the Albany Devils.
No immediate fantasy hockey value while in the AHL.
Sounds like Urbom impressed in his preseason debut. Last season the Swedish d-man scored two goals and 23 points last season while playing with the Albany Devils, earning an eight-game tryout with the big club. Should an injury hit Anton Volchenkov or Bryce Salvador, look for Urbom to get called up.
Urbom likely won't make the team but could be one of the first call-ups. He managed to score a goal last season over his first eight NHL games. He's shown glimpses of offense in the AHL, SEL and WHL so keep an eye on the former third round pick down the road.
