Capitals sent Fucale back to the minors after getting a SHUTOUT

Surprising news this morning, the Capitals send future star Fucale back to the minors.

"The Washington Capitals assigned goaltender Zach Fucale to the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League (AHL),"

"Fucale, 26, became the first goaltender in franchise history to record a shutout in his debut, stopping all 21 shots he faced against the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday."

Well, well, well. Instead of giving Fucale another game because he posted a shutout, they go and send him back to the minors. I don't understand that at all.
