Your savory breakfast links:

  • This evening’s visit from the Bruins will be the final preseason game before opening night… [Vogs]
  • …which gives some (but not all) of the players battling for spots one last time to shine. [THN, NoVa Caps, RMNB]
  • If you’re driving to tonight’s game, make sure to leave extra time, as some routes near the arena may be unavailable due to the District’s Open Streets program. [Monumental]
  • The Caps are getting closer and closer to that opening night squad, putting Ethan Bear and Mike Sgarbossa on waivers yesterday to bring them down to 26 active players. [@FriedgeHNIC]
  • Check in with the team after yesterday’s practice, including a chat with Ch-Ch-Chuckie Lindgren. [Caps video (Carbery, Lindgren, Caps365)]
  • If you’re starting to get the sense that Alex Ovechkin’s quest for Wayne Gretzky’s goal record will be dominating the narrative this season…you’d be correct. [RDS]
  • Take the summer off from hockey? Here’s everything to catch up on ahead of the 2024-25 season (although it technically already started) – including, yes, more on Ovechkin’s record chase. [ESPN]
