(Hershey, PA)- The Washington Capitals have recalled forward Travis Boyd from the Hershey Bears. The announcement was made by Washington's senior vice president and general manager Brian MacLellan.

Boyd, 24, ranks second on the Bears in goals (15), assists (29), and points (44) in 56 games. He has also posted 24 power play points, including 17 power play assists, a mark good for second in the American Hockey League. Boyd has collected 14 multi-point games this season, including becoming the only player in the AHL to score four goals in a game this season on Feb. 16 at Laval.

The native of Hopkins, Minn. has played in 210 regular season games with Hershey in his career, scoring 162 points (53 goals, 109 assists).

Boyd made his NHL debut against the San Jose Sharks on Dec. 4 and has played in two games for the Capitals this season. The product of the University of Minnesota was drafted with the Capitals' sixth-round pick in the 2011 draft.
