The Caps have acquired forward Johan Larsson from the Arizona Coyotes, per Elliotte Friedman:

And per Samantha Pell, the deal is a 2023 third-round pick going the other way:
WSH exchange for Larsson is a 2023 third-round pick to Arizona. Larsson, 29, is coming off sports hernia surgery in early Feb. Has missed the last 19 games.

Here’s a little more about the Caps’ new defensive forward:
Johan Larsson has been traded from the Arizona Coyotes to the Washington Capitals. As we said many times already before, Johan Larsson has been pretty good defensive forward for like ~3 years. Good addition for Washington. pic.twitter.com/2SHtvJfYZJ

Johan Larsson, acquired by WSH, has quietly been one of the most effective shut-down centres in the league. He did it for years in Buffalo's bottom six, and - as a flex - did it in Arizona's top six as well this season. Classic MacLellan pickup. #AllCaps pic.twitter.com/lyebzhCNHz
