Washington Capitals Prepare for 2024-25 NHL Season: Ovechkin's Return, Offseason Changes, and Goaltending Competition

The Washington Capitals are preparing for the 2024-25 NHL season with the return of Alex Ovechkin soon and several new additions, including Pierre-Luc Dubois, Andrew Mangiapane, and Jakob Chychrun. With Ovechkin's pursuit of the all-time NHL goals record, the team has high expectations for the upcoming season. There have been significant changes in the offseason, and the team is focusing on addressing offensive struggles and supporting veteran players. The goaltending situation is also expected to be competitive, with Charlie Lindgren and Logan Thompson vying for the starting position. Additionally, uncertainty surrounds T.J. Oshie's future due to chronic back problems, and Sonny Milano could be a trade candidate while Andrew Mangiapane's addition is seen as a potential boost to the team's offensive success.
