ARLINGTON, Va. -- Marcus Johansson was back in Toronto for another arbitration hearing with the Washington Capitals, but this time he didnt have to go through with it.Hours before Johansson and the Capitals were set to go to arbitration for the second time, they agreed on a $13.75 million, three-year deal. The 25-year-old Swedish forward will count $4.583 million against the salary cap, almost exactly between the two sides arbitration asking prices but on a longer contract.Johansson got as close as the entrance to the hotel where NHL arbitration cases are heard before the deal got done.I dont think anyone wants to go to arbitration. Thats kind of a last resort, Johansson said on a conference call from Toronto on Wednesday. It was a little tight schedule before the meeting, but Im really happy that we worked it out.Johansson will make $4.25 million next season and $4.75 million in 2017-18 and 2018-19 on a contract thats similar to the one former teammate Mathieu Perreault signed as a restricted free agent with the Winnipeg Jets earlier this summer.The $4.583 million cap hit fits into Washingtons offseason plan with one more restricted free agent left to sign in defenseman Dmitry Orlov. The Capitals won the Presidents Trophy as the leagues top regular-season team a year ago and will have almost the same group back to take another shot at the Stanley Cup next season.To be able to keep the team, its hard, Johansson said. Its hard for everyone. Im just happy we were able to figure it out in the end. To be able to be part of this team for three more years, thats important to me. I think both parties are happy with it. Theres obviously the cap in the NHL and they have to find a way to stay under it.Johansson had 17 goals and 29 assists for 46 points in 74 games last season. In 419 regular-season NHL games, Johansson has 78 goals and 154 assists for 232 points and has added 22 points in the playoffs.Under coach Barry Trotz, Johansson has developed his all-around game and improved his production by going to the net more.Thats been a part of my game that Ive been working on and trying to score more goals and get more pucks to the net, Johansson said. You always want to be part of it and score goals. Thats always a fun part. But as long as you feel youre improving on it and getting better, I think thats a sign that youre moving in the right direction.Signing him for three years takes some of the mystery out of next summer, when the Capitals have forwards T.J. Oshie, Justin Williams and Daniel Winnik and defenseman Karl Alzner as unrestricted free agents and forwards Evgeny Kuznetsov and Andre Burakovsky as restricted free agents.This offseason Washington acquired center Lars Eller in a trade with the Montreal Canadiens and let long-time left winger Jason Chimera leave in free agency. Johansson said the Capitals continue to make moves to improve.Mac has done a great job getting us what we need, he said. I think last year we showed that were really contending. ...

The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast. Dirk Nowitzki welcomed his third child into the world on Friday, now the Dallas Mavericks are eager to welcome their star forward back onto the court.Nowitzki has been out of action with a strained right Achilles tendon since November 4th against the Portland Trail Blazers. He initially hurt his Achilles in the Mavericks season opener on Oct. 26 against the Indiana Pacers.Dallas (2-6) could certainly use his scoring capability when it meets the New York Knicks (3-6) on Monday at Madison Square Garden. The Mavericks, who have been off since a 116-95 loss to the Golden State Warriors last Wednesday, are averaging 97.1 points, ranking them 26th in the league.Dallas won five straight games against the Knicks and is 27-11 against New York over the last 20 seasons.Nowitzki, 38, is the active leader in points scored (29,527) and minutes played (47,332). His wife Jessica gave birth to their son Morris.Nowitzki practiced over the weekend and is hopeful to join the Mavericks when they play four of their next five games on the road.We dont want to rush anything and go back to where we were last week, Nowitzki told the Dallas Morning News. So if I feel anything this weekend, theyre going to ease off again.Obviously, I want to play in the (Madison Square) Garden on Monday (against the Knicks) and I want to play in Boston (on Wednesday) -- two of my favorite road spots. But I just dont know at this point if its going to happen.Nowitzki averaged 18 points in two games against the Knicks last season.The Mavericks will be missing point guard Deron Williams, who is out with a left calf strain. Williams has missed the last three games. Seth Curry is expected to start in his place.Hes (Williams) going to be a little longer than hoped, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. Theres no timetable. Id say hes most likely out for New York (on Monday). And Booston (Wednesday) is probably a long shot.ddddddddddddThe Knicks have lost two straight at Boston and Toronto, where the Raptors were 33-of-38 from the line. New York held an opponent under 100 points just once this season.Its a learning experience, Derrick Rose said. There have probably been numerous games where teams shot 30 or over 35 free throws on us. Weve just got to learn from it. When they have the bonus, or when theyre close to it, weve got to communicate to each other that weve got to play safe, or under control so were just not giving them fouls or giving them free throws.Forward Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks with 31 points against Toronto, but failed to score a field goal in the fourth quarter. Against the Celtics, Anthony picked up two technical fouls in the second quarter and was ejected after scoring just 12 points in the 116-87 loss.I dont even know the last time Ive been ejected from a game of basketball, Anthony told the New York Post. I dont even know what that feels like.Being on the road playing a game of that stature, to be kicked out of the game for what reason? Because of a couple of bad words?Backup point guard Brandon Jennings was also issued two technicals in the Boston game and was ejected. He was fined $15,000 by the league for directing inappropriate language toward a game official and failing to leave the court in a timely manner following his ejection with 3:20 remaining in the contest.With the Knicks playing their third game in four nights and Anthony, Rose, Courtney Lee and Kristaps Porzingis all averaging at least 30 minutes, New Yorks bench will have to play a major role against Dallas.Jennings, the sixth man averaging seven points and 4.6 assists, should be a key.
