Washington Capitals Information
The Washington Capitals are a professional ice hockey club that calls the nation's capital home. The team is also known as the Caps. It is under the ownership of Ted Leonsis' Monumental Sports & Entertainment. The Caps compete in the NHL as a member of the Eastern Conference's Metropolitan Division.
The Washington franchise and the Kansas City Scouts were established in 1974 as an additional team. The Capitals were consistent postseason rivals for the following fourteen seasons because of a core of players like Mike Gartner, Rod Langway, Larry Murphy, and Scott Stevens.
By selecting upcoming franchise pillars like Alexander Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, and Braden Holtby, Leonsis has brought back the organization he bought in 1999.
The 2009–10 Capitals finished with the team's highest points in the regular season. As a result, they became the first team in franchise history to win the Presidents' Trophy. They repeated as champions for three titles in 2015–16 and 2016–17.
The Capitals have been to the Stanley Cup Finals twice, in 1998 and 2018, with the latter being a victory. They have also won 12 division crowns and three Presidents' Trophies.
