Although Matt Roy is officially listed as day-to-day, Coach Carbery indicated that the Caps Dman will be sidelined a bit. The year-old lasted just into his Washington debut after signing a six-year contract with the Capitals on July 1 as an unrestricted free agent but there has not been a play identified in which the injury occurred. Carbery also announced that goaltender Logan Thompson, who was acquired from Vegas on June 29, will make his Washington debut against the team he won the Stanley Cup with two seasons ago.
Thompson on starting vs. But we still have options to find out combinations. Lines at Caps practice. Some line changes, too:. Hunter had a great night Saturday night for the Bears season home opener and banner raising, earning a 0.

This was a team that knew they could win. A good start to the year and conclusion of a night which began with raising their 13th Calder Cup banner while wearing their special Back-to-Back jerseys.
