"After a 146-day break (but who's counting), the Washington Capitals are back on the ice for a meaningful hockey game again - and frankly, how dare they make me wait that long. So selfish. The Capitals will take on the Boston Bruins in Game 1 of the regular season tonight, and the Caps' lineup that will chase Lord Stanley's Cup this year looks mightily similar to the one that fell in five games to the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round of the 2025 playoffs."
"playoffs. New to the team is Justin Sourdif, a minor-leaguer grinder who was acquired from the Florida Panthers for two draft picks (management really liked him). Hendrix Lapierre is back at third-line center after an incredible preseason. Bravo, Hendrix. And that unfamiliar, handsome guy in the press box? Well, that's defenseman Declan Chisholm, a depth acquisition from the Minnesota Wild."
The Washington Capitals return after a 146-day break to open the regular season against the Boston Bruins. The roster closely resembles the one that lost to the Carolina Hurricanes in five games during the 2025 playoffs. New additions include Justin Sourdif, acquired from the Florida Panthers for two draft picks, and Declan Chisholm as defensive depth from the Minnesota Wild. Hendrix Lapierre returns at third-line center after a strong preseason. Alex Ovechkin, in his 21st NHL season, is three goals shy of 900. Puck drop is at 7:30 pm on TNT without Joe B. and Locker.
