The Washington Capitals showed up big in Friday night’s game, proving their determination and skills. Despite a slow start in the first period, the team managed to score five unanswered goals, a feat not seen since March 23, 2023. This victory may delay any major trade deadline moves, which some may question as advisable.
The Capitals are leaving the decision of when to turn pro up to Ryan Leonard, showing flexibility and support for his career choices. Brian MacLellan has had discussions with Alex Ovechkin regarding the team’s trade deadline plans, hinting at a potential repeat of last season’s strategy. Additionally, there are considerations about the salary cap implications of waiving Evgeny Kuznetsov and the anticipated return of TJ Oshie from injury.
