"The first official, non-testing day of camp is set for Thursday, September 18, when many of the team's core players will meet with the media for the first time this preseason. Alex Ovechkin will be on the ice for what could be the final NHL training camp of his career, as he enters the final year of his contract with the Capitals. He'll be joined by other big-time names on the team's roster like John Carlson, Dylan Strome, Tom Wilson, Logan Thompson, and Pierre-Luc Dubois."
"Sixteen of the players who were in attendance at the Naval Academy for rookie camp this past week will also participate in main camp with the Capitals' veterans. The standouts in that group include the team's first-round picks from the last three drafts: Lynden Lakovic, Terik Parascak, and Ryan Leonard. The camp will also be the first time that players acquired over the summer, like defenseman Declan Chisholm and forward Justin Sourdif, will officially don their new colors."
