The 2019-20 NHL schedule is out and, as we already knew, the Caps will be on hand in St. Louis to watch the Blues raise their Cup banner to the rafters (and for those keeping track, this is the third time in four years – and the fourth time in six – that the Capitals will be playing in the Cup champs’ home opener… although obviously one of those was their own).
The Caps’ home opener will be Saturday 10/5 against the Hurricanes, the second half of a back-to-back that starts with the Islanders’ season opener Friday night at Nassau Coliseum.
