Capitals hire Arniel, Cashman as assistant coaches

ARLINGTON, Va. -- The Washington Capitals have hired Scott Arniel and Reid Cashman as assistants on coach Todd Reirden's staff.

General manager Brian MacLellan announced the moves Monday. Since Reirden was promoted from associate coach to fill Barry Trotz's role, Arniel and Cashman have replaced him and outgoing assistant Lane Lambert behind the bench for the defending Stanley Cup champions.
