The Washington Capitals have placed five players on waivers following a heavy defeat to the Columbus Blue Jackets. The players include left-wing Ethen Frank, centers Riley Sutter and Alex Limoges, and defensemen Hardy Haman Aktell and Chase Priskie.

With the Capitals' training camp roster now reduced to 46, the team prepares for two remaining exhibition games before finalizing their roster for the upcoming season opener against the New Jersey Devils on October 12.
