The Washington Capitals have named Kevin McCarthy an assistant coach.
Kevin McCarthy has once again joined Peter Laviolette’s coaching staff as the Washington Capitals hired him on Wednesday to oversee the defense. McCarthy is the only other change to the coaching staff besides head coach as Scott Arniel, Blaine Forsythe and goaltending coach Scott Murray will remain with the club.
“Kevin has had a tremendous impact on my coaching career, and I’m extremely excited to have him join our coaching staff in Washington. Kevin is a high character individual who has an incredible amount of NHL experience and works relentlessly to make players better.
