Locked On Capitals - Daily Podcast On The Washington CapitalsAbout this episode
This episode dives into the Washington Capitals' training camp, kicking off with the surprising early exit of Alex Ovechkin due to a lower body issue. While the team downplays it as precautionary, fans are on high alert with Ovechkin just three goals shy of the 900 mark. The podcast explores the promising chemistry of the second line featuring Dubois, Leonard, and Protas, and highlights Sonny Milano's sharp return to full participation. The discussion then shifts to key players' statuses, including Fehervary and Schultz in non-contact jerseys, and McMichael's opportunity at third line center. A significant focus is placed on John Carlson's contract year situation, pondering whether he'll be trade bait or remain as a mentor for younger defensemen. This comprehensive look at the Capitals' preseason developments sets the stage for an intriguing season ahead. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
