The Washington Capitals continue to navigate a challenging season, currently hoping for a successful playoff push despite recent struggles. General manager Chris Patrick highlighted that the Capitals have not yet discussed Alex Ovechkin's future, indicating he is currently focused on the short term and the team's performance.
The Capitals are actively looking to improve their roster before the trade deadline, with Patrick noting a need for a higher-end skilled winger. In roster moves, Ivan Miroshnichenko has been recalled from the Hershey Bears, and Justin Sourdif has been placed on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury.
As the team sits in a difficult stretch, with a record of 0-6-1 since their last two victories on December 2, the Capitals are eager to regain momentum to secure a playoff spot.
