The Washington Capitals are looking to create a little competition inside their roster and push their rookies.  

The Caps have invited defenseman Jyrki Jokipakka on a professional tryout to their training camp. 


The 26-year-old is a unrestricted free agent since July s1st, and will add a player with experience to the competition for the open spots on the blue line. 

In 41 games last season with the Calgary Flames, Jokipakka recorded a goal and six points. He also played three games with the Ottawa Senators

The defender started his NHL career with the Dallas Stars, who selected him in the seventh round (195th overall) in 2011.
