WASHINGTON, July 9 -- Free agent center Kip Miller Tuesday reunited with former coach, Bruce Cassidy, by signing a two-year contract with the Washington Capitals.
Financial terms were not made public.
Miller, 33, played parts of the last two seasons for Cassidy in Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League and International Hockey League before signing with the New York Islanders last January.
In 37 games with the Islanders, Miller recorded seven goals and 17 assists.
Despite playing just 41 games with Grand Rapids last season, Miller finished the season as the club's leading scorer with 21 goals and 35 assists.
Originally a fourth-round pick of Quebec in 1987, Miller has played in 311 games with seven NHL teams, recording 53 goals and 105 assists. Kip joins Kelly ('87-'99) and Kevin ('92) as the third Miller brother to have played for Washington.
He won the Hobey Baker Award as college hockey's top player following his senior year at Michigan State.
