Washington Capitals Blue Line Ready for Season Opener vs. Boston Bruins: Matt Roy and Declan Chisholm Return to Full Practice

Chisholm’s recovery from a skate cut adds reliable puck movement and depth to the third pair, restoring confidence across the back end. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
