The Washington Capitals announced their 72-man roster and the full schedule for their 2024 Training Camp. The first official, non-testing day of camp is set for Thursday, September 19.
The roster consists of 41 forwards, 24 defensemen, and seven goalies. The players will initially be divided into three separate squads (Group A, Group B, and Group C) for skates on varying schedules.
16 of the 20 players who attended Rookie Camp this past week in Annapolis, MD, will also participate in the main camp with the Capitals. Highlights include the team’s 2024 first-round draft selection Terik Parascak, Andrew Cristall, Zac Funk, Alexander Suzdalev, Cam Allen, and Leon Muggli.
New faces like Pierre-Luc Dubois, Brandon Duhaime, Andrew Mangiapane, Taylor Raddysh, Matt Roy, Jakob Chychurn, and Logan Thompson will make their first appearances at a camp after being acquired during the offseason. They’ll join players battling for an NHL roster spot, like Pierrick Dubé, Ethen Frank, Alex Limoges, Ivan Miroshnichenko, Riley Sutter, Bogdan Trineyev, and Jakub Vrana.
Mike Vecchione is the lone Hershey Bears contracted player not attending the camp. Per Hershey’s Zack Fisch, Vecchione and Washington agreed to have him come directly to Hershey’s camp to be ready for the season there.
Per the team, this year’s Training Camp will last 22 days. The Capitals will play six preseason games against four opponents, starting on September 22 at home against the Philadelphia Flyers. Opening Night for the regular season is also at home on October 12 against the New Jersey Devils.
The Capitals also provided the schedule for the first six days of camp.
