The start of the 2022-23 season has not went the way the Washington Capitals had hoped it would. They are currently 5-4-2 in the Metro which is not a playoff spot, and the team is getting angry.

The Capitals started the season without star players Nicklas Backstrom and Tom Wilson due to offseason surgeries, and Carl Hagelin is also on LTIR.

It was also announced yesterday that Connor Brown would be shut down for the season following surgery.

Add in TJ Oshie who is ''out indefinitely'' and John Carlson who is day-to-day, the Capitals are limping onto the ice.
