Theodor Niederbach - NHL News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Lands contract with Washington Niederbach signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Capitals on Thursday.

Impact Niederbach has yet to make his NHL debut, but he'll presumably have an opportunity to compete for a roster spot during training camp ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. Across 52 regular-season appearances in the SHL this year, he recorded 13 goals, 19 assists and 16 PIM.

Unsigned by Detroit Niederbach was not signed by the Red Wings prior to his NHL rights expiring Saturday, per CapFriendly.

Impact Niederbach has never left his native Sweden during the course of his professional and junior careers, a trend that looks poised to continue into the future. Selected by Detroit in the second round of the 2020 NHL Draft, the 22-year-old winger looks like a long shot to make the jump to the NHL at this point.
