You obviously noticed a different look for the Capitals on the road tonight. They're wearing their blue helmets for the first of two times this year. Equipment manager Brock Myles told me that the NHL sent a letter to all teams if you can work it out with the other team you can choose to wear a different helmet occasionally.
While watching the game on TV, the helmet appears to be a different navy blue color than the piping on the jersey and pants, but that may just be because the plastic reflects light different than the fabric of the pants. To me, this doesn't work.
There was a reason why the designers picked the white helmets originally and the look went unchanged for nearly 20 years. If you're going to tinker, just rebrand both uniforms, both home and away.
