Caps host Bruins tonight — lone Cap One preseason, 7 p.m. MNMT

Tonight at Cap One

The Washington Capitals host the Boston Bruins on Friday, Sep. 25, puck drop 7:00 p.m. ET on MNMT (radio: Team 980 / Caps Radio Network) at Capital One Arena — the club’s only Capital One Arena exhibition this autumn (Capitals.com).

Preseason context (club)

• Caps enter 1-0-1 in the exhibition slate (loss at Boston in a shootout; 5-2 win vs Flyers in Hershey)
• Coach Spencer Carbery: Friday is mostly a “dress rehearsal” of the expected opening-night roster
• Alex Ovechkin returned to practice Thursday after missing time with a lower-body issue; Carbery was noncommittal on whether he plays Friday or Saturday (Capitals.com)
• Next: Saturday at Philadelphia (late afternoon), then idle until the Oct. 2 opener at Carolina
• League opening-night 23-man roster deadline: 5 p.m. ET Monday, Sep. 28
