Washington Capitals dominate Carolina Hurricanes in Rookie Tournament opener

Washington Capitals prospects and rookies are in Nashville for the team’s annual prospect showcase that traditionally takes place just days before training camp.

A lot of pundits think the Capitals don’t quite have one of the best prospect pools but there were no doubts about the future after that performance against a solid Carolina Hurricanes prospect class.

The Capitals wasted no time in the early going and never looked back. Coming down the ice, Connor McMichael fed a cross-ice pass to Brian Pinho. Pinho took his time, wound up the shot and hit the back of the net to give the Capitals the early 1-0 lead.
