About the Washington Capitals
The Washington Capitals joined the NHL in 1974 as an expansion team alongside the Kansas City Scouts. The team won only eight games in its first season but grew into a steady playoff contender.
Washington reached its first Stanley Cup Final in 1998 and won its first Stanley Cup in 2018, beating the Vegas Golden Knights in five games. Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, Peter Bondra and Braden Holtby are among the franchise's best players.
In 2024-25, the Capitals won the Metropolitan Division with 111 points. That season, Ovechkin passed Wayne Gretzky to become the NHL's all-time leading goal scorer.
The Capitals play at Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, D.C., which opened in December 1997.
