The Capitals signed Gersich, a fifth-round pick (134th overall) in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, to a two-year entry-level contract on March 23. Gersich, 21, recorded 29 points (13 goals) in 40 games with the University of North Dakota before signing with the Capitals. In three NHL games with the Capitals, Gersich tallied an assist and a -1 rating. He also played two playoff games but was also a -1.

Gersich participated in Capitals’ development camp in June.
