The Washington Capitals managed to salvage a point in their four-game road trip with a last-minute comeback, but their overall performance has been lackluster, especially at five-on-five play.

Anthony Mantha will not play in the Washington Capitals' final preseason game, which is considered a dress rehearsal for the season opener. The team's roster for the game closely resembles their opening lineup, with Matthew Phillips impressing and earning a spot. Mantha, who has been working to turn around his performance with the Caps, has not shown enough to make the lineup. The Capitals have won three out of their five preseason games.
