Thriving in Washington, he credits his seamless integration with the team and city for his confidence and joy on the ice, positioning him as a cornerstone for the Capitals’ playoff push next season.

Braden Holtby, just 22, stunned the NHL by stepping up as Washington’s playoff hero—posting a .935 save percentage and a 1.95 GAA against top Eastern Conference seeds. Now, with Vokoun gone and Neuvirth still in the mix, Holtby faces his first full season as a potential starter—and the Capitals’ history suggests it won’t be easy. But Holtby’s staying grounded, treating every game like a playoff moment, backed by coaches who’ve seen his grit since he was filling in with Hershey. After a break to welcome his newborn and recover from injuries, he’s back on the ice in August, ready to prove he’s not just a playoff goalie—he’s the guy they’ll count on all year.

Alex Ovechkin, entering his 22nd NHL season at 41, is keeping retirement options open—calling it “anything’s possible”—as he eyes another Stanley Cup run with the Capitals and races toward breaking Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goal record. Despite signing a one-year extension last summer amid retirement rumors, he’s still leading the Capitals in scoring and plans to discuss his future with his family once they’re back in Washington. No farewell tour or final curtain call is confirmed yet—he’s staying focused on the ice for now.
