Washington’s ageless Alex Ovechkin, currently sidelined with a lower-body injury, scored 44 goals in just 65 games last year to pass Wayne Gretzky as the NHL’s all-time leading goal scorer and enters the season just three shy of becoming the first 900-goal scorer in league history. The captain enters his 21st season only 43 goals shy of Gretzky’s mark of 1,016 combined regular-season and playoff tallies as well. The Capitals had a quiet offseason, acquiring young forward Justin Sourdif from the Florida Panthers and trading to get depth defenseman Declan Chisholm from the Minnesota Wild.

Philadelphia gave up Ryan Poehling and two draft picks to acquire center Trevor Zegras from the Anaheim Ducks and looked to stabilize their shaky goaltending situation by signing free-agent Daniel Vladař, who has a 2.80 goals-against average and .898 save percentage in 30 games with the Calgary Flames a season ago. Tocchet comes to Philly after a 108-65-27 mark in two-plus seasons in Vancouver netted just one playoff berth.

The Flyers last reached the postseason in 2020 while Washington won its first playoff series since raising the Stanley Cup in 2018 when it beat the Montreal Canadiens in the first round last spring. The Caps opened their preseason with a 5-2 win at the Boston Bruins on Sunday while Philadelphia is 1-1-0 and comes off a 4-2 loss at Montreal on Tuesday night.
