The Washington Capitals were originally founded as an expansion team in 1974, along with the Kansas City Scouts. The Scouts ended up with the New Jersey Devils, but the Capitals stayed right where they were. A member of the Eastern Conference, Metropolitan Division, they are regular playoff contenders. They boast three Presidents’ Trophies for the most regular season points, 12 division titles, and one Stanley Cup win (2018).
Caps fans can’t always rock the red at the stadium, so watching the game live on TV is the next best thing. This season, all eyes are on the new coach, Spencer Carbery, and aging team captain Alex Ovechkin. But where can you watch Capitals games?
