As the Washington Capitals approach the NHL's opening night, the competition for roster spots intensifies. With a trimmed roster of 29 players, key position battles are becoming clearer.
Leading the second line is Connor McMichael, while emerging talent Ivan Miroshnichenko is taking charge on the third line. Jakub Vrana is also making a strong case for the right wing position.
In goal, Logan Thompson stands out as the frontrunner, boasting a solid save percentage. The Capitals will finalize their roster soon, with one preseason game left to evaluate their lineup.
