Goalie Start
Vanecek will start the Capitals' season opener vs. the Rangers.
Vanecek went 21-10-4 with a 2.69 GAA and .908 SV% in his rookie season with the Capitals. This offseason he was lost in the expansion draft but was re-acquired for a 2023 second-round pick after the Kraken signed Philipp Grubauer. Head coach Peter Laviolette said that Vanceck “separated himself a little bit” in training camp and that’s why he gets the nod on opening night.

The Oilers have re-signed Kailer Yamamoto to a one-year contract.
Yamamoto had a terrific 27-game stretch in 2020 but failed to match that production in his first full season in 2021. Yamamoto scored just eight goals and 13 assists (21 points) in 52 games last year, playing almost exclusively with Leon Draisaitl. The lack of production led to Yamamoto getting a one-year bridge deal at $1.175M to prove he can bounce back before the Oilers commit to him with big dollars on a longer-term deal.
The Flames have re-signed Juuso Valimaki to a two-year, $3.1 million contract.
The Coyotes have signed Michael Carcone to a two-year, two-way contract.
The Senators have signed Andrew Agozzino to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Flames have signed Nick DeSimone to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Coyotes have signed Liam O'Brien to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Capitals have acquired Vitek Vanecek from the Kraken for a 2023 2nd round pick.
The Hurricanes have signed Ian Cole to a one-year contract worth $2.9 million.
The Jets have acquired Nate Schmidt from the Canucks for a 2022 third-round pick.
