(Nick Wass/Associated Press)The Washington Capitals have recalled forward Chandler Stephenson from the Hershey Bears, their American Hockey League affiliate. After Sunday’s afternoon game against the Philadelphia Flyers, Washington has three away games, so Stephenson’s addition gives the Capitals an extra forward before they hit the road. Stephenson, a 22-year-old center, played in nine games with the Capitals last year, making his debut against Chicago in the third game of the season. Last season, Stephenson set AHL career highs in assists (21) and points (28).
