NHL Rumors: Spencer Carbery to Be Named Capitals HC; Replaces Peter Laviolette

The Washington Capitals are expected to hire Toronto Maple Leafs assistant coach Spencer Carbery as their head coach, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman and The Athletic's Tarik El-Bashir.

Carbery would replace Peter Laviolette, who mutually agreed to part ways with the Caps in April after they missed the playoffs for the first time since 2014.
