October 5 vs. Detroit Red Wings at Capital One Arena
Time: 7:00 p.m.
TV: NBCSW
Radio: 106.7 The Fan, Capitals Radio 24/7
Detroit Red Wings (2-3-0)
Washington Capitals (2-1-1)
After playing three road exhibitions in a span of four nights to finish out last week, the Capitals took Sunday off and returned to the rigors of training camp practice on Monday and Tuesday, with a newly trimmed camp roster in the wake of a small round of weekend cuts. On Wednesday night the Caps will take on the Detroit Red Wings in Washington's penultimate preseason game. The two teams met in Detroit last week when the Caps skated off with a 2-0 victory.
Not including a quartet of injured players who will not be ready to play when the season opens a week from today, the Caps' training camp roster is down to 28 players (18 forwards, eight defensemen and two goaltenders). At least five more players will need to be trimmed from the roster, and most of the players remaining on the roster would need to clear waivers to be loaned to AHL Hershey. Among the forwards still in camp and vying for a roster berth, only three - Kody Clark, Connor McMichael and Aliaksei Protas - are waiver-exempt.
