The 2022-23 NHL schedule is out and the Caps will kick things off at home on October 13, when they play host to the Boston Bruins. They’ll then head out of town to kick off the road portion of their season with a visit to Toronto the following evening.
Among the highlights of this year’s schedule are the first game against the defending Stanley Cup Champion Avalanche on November 19 (which comes about a week after they face the team they beat to get that Cup, the Tampa Bay Lightning), and the team’s Stadium Series game in Raleigh on February 18 - their first outdoor game since the 2017-18 season.
