| Capitals stars react to losing Barry Trotz as head coach |
| LAS VEGAS-Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom weren't expecting to lose their head coach less than two weeks after winning the Stanley Cup. "It's sad," Ovechkin said on the red carpet at the NHL Awards, where he accepted his seventh Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy on Wednesday night. "First of all, [I want to] thank him for a great job to be our coach, to be our dad, to give us a chance to win," Ovechkin said. |

| Capitals don't get Penguins for home opener, but Penguins will host Capitals in theirs |
| The Capitals found out who their opponent will be for the home opener on Oct. 3 and it's not the Pittsburgh Penguins. Plus, the Penguins need that night off because they have to get ready for their own home opener on Oct. 4 against...the Caps? In 2016, the Capitals were in attendance as the Penguins raised their Stanley Cup banner. |

| Darryl Sutter has retired from coaching |
| Afters spending nearly two decades behind an NHL bench as a head coach Darryl Sutter is officially calling it a career. Combined with his playing career that started in 1978 that is four decades in the NHL, and in Sutter’s mind that is enough. “Forty years, that’s enough,” said Sutter, 59, when asked if he’d consider the Washington gig that became vacant when Barry Trotz resigned following this month’s Stanley Cup win. |

| Caps will open NHL season, raise banner Oct. 3 vs. Bruins |
| The Washington Capitals may not know whom their head coach will be when they open next season, but they know who they'll play -- and when they'll raise their first Stanley Cup banner. The NHL on Wednesday announced the home-opening date and opponent for all 31 teams for the 2018-19 season, and the champs will play the season's first game on Oct. 3 against the Boston Bruins.

| What's next for Barry Trotz? |
| Barry Trotz is no longer the head coach of the Washington Capitals and, after resigning, he is officially free to pursue other opportunities. There is only one head coaching vacancy left in the NHL, that of the New York Islanders. While it certainly makes sense for the Islanders to pursue Trotz, there's one big reason why Trotz, or anyone, would likely be hesitant to accept the job on Long Island and that is John Tavares. |

| Date for Capitals home opener, banner raising announced and it's not against the Pittsburgh Penguins |
| Just before the Caps turn the page on their Stanley Cup championship season and open a new campaign, they will raise a championship banner to the rafters of Capital One Arena in the home opener. The Capitals' home opener will be on Oct. 3, but if you were hoping Washington would raise the banner against the Pittsburgh Penguins, you're going to be disappointed. Instead, the Boston Bruins will be the Caps' first opponent at Capital One Arena for the 2018-19 season. |
