Could Chychrun break the franchise mark for goals in a season by a defenseman? He'd need 14 goals in 23 games, so probably not... but if teams keep thinking that other guy is the big power play threat, he just might. 🐥🐥💥

Classy of Carbs, of course, but I'd bet a shiny nickel it's also more of the subtle, unseen work of the best PR folks in the biz making it happen.
Capitals coach Spencer Carbery began his media avail this morning by talking about beat writer @baileyannej.bsky.social
who was among those let go by the Washington Post yesterday when it eliminated its sports staff. Bailey was lone independent media member who traveled to Caps road games:
