Capitals attendance remains strong amid leaguewide decline

Attendance in the NHL is down this season compared to pre-pandemic levels, but the Washington Capitals are one of a few teams not feeling the effects in the stands.

The Capitals rank fourth in the NHL with an average attendance of 18,573 and are one of only four teams to not see a decrease in this season compared to 2019-20, according to ESPN’s tracker.

Overall, NHL attendance is down about 10% compared to 2019-20 — the last season with fans before the COVID-19 pandemic cut it short — according to Sports Business Journal.
