Capitals Camp to Open Saturday

Yesterday the Washington Capitals released the Training Camp and Rookie Camp rosters. The rookie camp will run from September 8th to the 12th. The camp concludes with a game against the Philadelphia Flyers rookies. The main training camp begins September 14th and concludes September 30th. The Caps will play 7 preseason games. The current roster has 47 signed players with two spots being held for unsigned, restricted free agents Tomas Fleischmann and Jakub Klepis. This leaves 1 open roster spot on the big club. The camp should be ultra competitive this year with a number of roster spots to be determined, especially on the defense.
