2022 has been an extremely challenging year for the Capitals’ first-round draft pick Ivan Miroshnichenko. He was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma back in January but was cleared by doctors to return to skating and workouts after successfully completing a course of treatment in Germany in June.
Miroshnichenko has worked out with Avangard Omsk’s VHL (Junior) club since October 21 and was cleared to return to game action on November 6.
