"The Washington Capitals jumped on the ice at MedStar Capitals Iceplex for the first day of their 2025 Training Camp on Thursday. Amid the excitement of Group A's skate tests and initial on-ice action, the first injury updates of the year have already emerged. Two players expected to make the Capitals' roster out of camp were clad in light blue, no-contact jerseys: Martin Fehervary and Justin Sourdif."
"Fehervary arrived at his first camp since he suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee at the end of last season, forcing him out of the Capitals' playoff run. The 25-year-old rearguard discussed his struggles with lingering pain and inflammation in his surgically repaired knee late last month ahead of returning from his native Slovakia. "I have minor inflammation and can't get rid of it, and it's still hurting me a bit," Fehervary said. "It's a bit of a long story.""
"As of mid-August, Fehervary had not returned to the ice yet, a milestone in his rehab that was planned to have happened in July. The Capitals were initially pleased with the veteran defenseman's progress, with GM Chris Patrick calling Fehervary a "machine" in late June. Despite his own words about the still-present pain, Fehervary almost immediately returned to informal skates with the rest of his teammates. He first got back on the ice on September 2, joining prospects Ryan Leonard and Andrew Cristall."
The Washington Capitals opened 2025 Training Camp at MedStar Capitals Iceplex with Group A conducting skate tests and on-ice activity. Two players expected to make the roster out of camp, Martin Fehervary and Justin Sourdif, wore light blue no-contact jerseys. Fehervary missed the end of the previous season after suffering a torn meniscus in his right knee and undergoing surgery, and he reports ongoing inflammation and pain in the repaired knee. Fehervary had not returned to the ice by mid-August but resumed skating on September 2 alongside prospects Ryan Leonard and Andrew Cristall. Fehervary posted 25 points in 81 games during 2024–25 and served primarily in a shutdown defensive role.
