Braden Holtby returned to the Capitals development camp alongside current goaltender Logan Thompson, both donning similar Capitals gear that made them resemble each other closely.

Ethan Bear has signed a one-year contract with the New York Islanders, concluding his time with the Capitals organization after a season in the AHL.

Washington currently has $6.95 million in cap space to work with after signing trade acquisitions Justin Sourdif and Declan Chisholm (though pending RFA Hendrix Lapierre has yet to ink a contract).

Ultimately, Ovi became available on short notice-as is the nature of a professional athlete's schedule. (Luckily, it wouldn't be his first time holding a goat.)

McMichael's scoring prowess peaked this season with 57 points, reflecting his significant improvement and adaptation on the ice, showcasing potential for future growth.

This season, Andrew Mangiapane provided valuable depth scoring for the Capitals with 28 points, despite his offensive production significantly declining from previous seasons.
