Devante Smith-Pelly, the playoff hero who chose to stay with the Washington Capitals despite better offers, is one of many Capitals players eager to start preparing for the season. Smith-Pelly is the latest to join the informal practices at Capitals MedStar Iceplex.
Meanwhile, Michal Kempny and Andre Burakovsky are flying back from overseas, both posting travel pictures on their Instagram accounts.
Devante Smith-Pelly back at Medstar today, too.

Defenseman Madison Bowey also rejoined the team for the first time this summer.
Madison Bowey just walked past me on his way to the locker room. Looks like we may see him back on the ice for the first time today.

Practice today began with these goalie drills, which are not silly looking at all.
