Story of the Day

The Capitals return to action tonight when they host the Philadelphia Flyers at Capital One Arena. The Capitals, who are 4-1-0 in their five games and 5-2-1 in their previous eight contests, have won three straight at home. Washington is 8-3-1 in its last 12 games against Philadelphia since the start of the 2022-23 season and has won five of its last six games versus the Flyers at Capital One Arena.

Tom Wilson and Logan Thompson earned silver medals with Team Canada at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, while Martin Fehérváry helped Slovakia to a fourth-place finish. Wilson finished the tournament with four points (1g, 3a) in six games, which ranked tied for sixth among Canadian forwards. Among Team Canada skaters, only Connor McDavid (13), Macklin Celebrini (10), Nathan MacKinnon (7), Sidney Crosby (6), Cale Makar (6) and Mitch Marner (5) had more points than Wilson. The 6’4”, 225-pound forward also ranked sixth among Canadian forwards in ice time per game (11:57). Wilson skated 13:00 in the gold medal game, which was the sixth-highest total among Canadian forwards and marked his second-highest total of the tournament. Wilson was one of 10 Canadian forwards to play in all six games. Thompson stopped 24 of 25 shots faced (.960 SV%) in his lone start on Feb. 13 vs. Switzerland.

Fehérváry, who served as an alternate captain for Slovakia, recorded four points (0g, 4a) in six games played and averaged a team-high 21:01 of ice time. Fehérváry ranked tied for fourth among defensemen at the tournament in assists (Quinn Hughes: 7; Zach Werenski: 5; Filip Hronek: 5; Cale Makar: 4; Rasmus Dahlin: 4; Erik Karlsson: 4). Fehérváry’s four assists also tied Lubomir Sekeras (4 in 1998) for the most by a Slovakian defenseman in an Olympics involving NHL players.
