| Preseason recap: Bruins battle it out with Capitals, but fall 5-4 in OT |
| Big decisions for Head Coach Jim Montgomery to make as training camp winds down. Tonight's game didn't make things any easier for him as Matt Poitras continued to make his case for a roster spot. As the Bruins found themselves down by a score in the third period, the 19-year-old made a skillful play to even the game. Although momentum and scoring chances was slanted towards the Capitals, the Bruins capitalized on speed and quick shots to stay in the game. |

| Downed in Detroit, 5-2 |
| A night removed from handing the Detroit Red Wings defeat in the comfy confines of Capital One Arena, the Washington Capitals were returned the favor at Little Caesars Arena, 5-2, in their first road date of exhibition play.

| Capitals: Edmundson's Injury Opens Up Opportunity For Iorio |
| For the Washington Capitals, they are hoping to get back into the playoff picture after a rough 2022-23 season. A 35-37-10 finish for the Capitals last season earned them the eighth overall selection in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft where they selected Ryan Leonard. As they strengthened their prospect pool heavily with the addition of Leonard and Andrew Cristall, their main focus is on the new season and some other prospects that might earn their first big opportunity in the NHL. Vincent Iorio played three games for the Capitals last season but spent the majority of the season in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Hershey Bears before his call-up. |

| Ovechkin playing tutor to rookie Miroshnichenko with Capitals |
| WASHINGTON -- Alex Ovechkin has been doing a little bit of everything on and off the ice to help Washington Capitals rookie Ivan Miroshnichenko with the adjustment to the NHL and North America. So it was fitting the Washington captain also served as Miroshnichenko's interpreter after the 19-year-old Russia-born forward had two assists, playing on a line with Ovechkin, in a 4-3 victory against the Detroit Red Wings in his NHL preseason debut at Capital One Arena on Thursday. "Yeah, it's (a) pretty special moment," Miroshnichenko said through Ovechkin of playing with Ovechkin, second in NHL history with 822 goals, 72 behind Wayne Gretzky 's League record of 894. At that moment, Ovechkin, who is |

| The Washington Capitals only exist for one reason now |
| The NHL spent a good decade trying to revolve their league around a Pittsburgh Penguins-Washington Capitals rivalry, and more to the point, a Sidney Crosby-Alex Ovechkin one. Unable to come up with any original ideas, because it's the NHL, it did its best to copy the Bird-Magic dynamic from the NBA in the 80s. The league even rejiggered their playoff system in 2014 to try to ensure more Penguins-Caps matchups, having only gotten one previously in Crosby's and Ovechkin's career to that point (the other point was to get Detroit to the Eastern Conference so they wouldn't have to listen to them complain anymore. By going to a division-centric playoff system, the NHL removed enough water from the pool to make sure the Pens and Caps couldn't avoid each other for too long, and it got a three-year Cold War in 2016-2018 that it longed for, with the winner of each of those three series going on to win the Cup. |
