Mike Hoffman, one of the top unsigned NHL free agents, has several teams interested in him and would be willing to sign a short-term contract rather than a long-term one, his agent said.

More than a dozen teams are interested in the 30-year-old forward, agent Robert Hooper told The Athletic, including five or six he described at serious.

Henrik Lundqvist is signing a one-year deal with the Washington Capitals, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Lundqvist's 15-year run with the Rangers ended in September when the team bought out the final year of his contract.

The Capitals re-signed Brenden Dillon to a $15.6 million, four-year contract Tuesday, an announcement that came minutes after the team said Michal Kempny would miss six to eight months following surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon. The Capitals have been linked to goaltender Henrik Lundqvist since he was bought out by the Rangers last week, and they could sign him when free agency opens Friday.

"We're looking for a backup veteran goaltender," general manager Brian MacLellan said. "He's a really solid candidate for us."
