Washington Capitals prospect Cam Allen has found himself in serious trouble following an impaired-driving incident in London, Ontario over the weekend. The 20-year-old defenseman, who was a fifth-round pick by the Capitals in the 2023 NHL Draft, reportedly drove while intoxicated and crashed a vehicle, resulting in minor injuries to a passenger. He left the scene and is now facing five criminal charges with a court appearance set for March 6.

Despite this setback, Allen has been performing well in the Ontario Hockey League, tallying 42 points in 45 games for the London Knights this season. The Capitals organization is aware of the situation but has chosen to withhold further comment due to the ongoing legal proceedings.

The Canadian major junior hockey leagues kicked off in October, showcasing several Washington Capitals prospects. The focus is primarily on their performances during this month, with highlights from their respective teams in the OHL, WHL, and QMJHL.

Among the prospects, Andrew Cristall from the Kelowna Rockets has been particularly impressive, contributing significantly to his team's offense. Cam Allen of the Guelph Storm has also played a key role, although his team struggles continue.

Other notable performances include Terik Parascak of the Prince George Cougars, who has emerged as a scoring threat, and Ilya Protas of the Windsor Spitfires, who has maintained a strong scoring streak. Overall, the Capitals' prospects are making their mark in the junior leagues.
