You guys, Opening Day is finally here. The Washington Capitals take on the Boston Bruins tonight at Capital One Arena. Hockey is back.
For those of you who weren’t excited already [raises hand – I am definitely excited], the Capitals released a hype video to get you pumped ahead of puck drop.
The Washington Capitals are set to open their 2022-23 campaign at home against the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night and they’ll have a new face in net when they do so.
Darcy Kuemper took the starter’s cage at the morning skate for the first time as a member of the Capitals. The team’s big-dollar offseason addition will lead the Caps out onto the ice for the Home Opener and his 300th career NHL game.

The coronavirus pandemic is putting a temporary end to what is usually an annual tradition. Capitals players will not be greeting fans or walking the red carpet ahead of the team’s Home Opener at Capital One Arena on Wednesday, October 13.
The Capitals announced the news in a press release Friday that detailed the events and initiatives that will be happening before the game.

The Washington Capitals will have fans in the building for their home opener tonight at Capital One Arena – kinda, sorta. Okay, not really.
The Capitals have placed cardboard cutouts of fans and some famous people around the 100 and 200 levels.
Here are some of team’s special cardboard guests.
The Washington Capitals’ opening games of the 2019-20 season will be rife with narrative and storylines. On October 2, the Capitals will open their season against the St. Louis Blues in a battle between the last two championship-winning teams.
Before the game, the Blues will raise their Stanley Cup Championship banner to the Enterprise Center rafters in a special pregame ceremony.
The Capitals will then hold their home opener three days later on October 5 against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Hurricanes defeated the Capitals in the first round last season.
On Tuesday, the Washington Capitals released single game tickets ahead of general sale for season-ticket holders. The home opener, against the Boston Bruins on October 3rd, was one of the games made available. There were some restrictions on purchasing home opener tickets, due to the Stanley Cup banner raising ceremony being held that night, which included no discounts off the door price, and a two ticket limit.
However, when tickets did become available for season-ticket holders to purchase, there appeared to be another barrier to entry for Capitals fans: the cost. In some cases, almost a 400% increase in price from the usual face value expected for tickets was implemented.
