Capitals’ Waivers Moves Unveil Startling Clues About Their 2025-26 NHL Roster Strategy
Miroshnichenko, for now, joins Hendrix Lapierre, Sonny Milano, and Vincent Iorio as players on the fringe of the team’s roster at the outset of camp to win spots on the club’s Opening Night roster. Lapierre and Milano combined for 13 points (5g, 8a) in their preseason appearances, with Lapierre tying for the league lead (7) in overall exhibition scoring.
The strong fall has led to Lapierre retaking the third-line center position that he lost last season when the Capitals sent him down to Hershey after acquiring Lars Eller from the Pittsburgh Penguins. Head coach Spencer Carbery admitted that the former first-round draft choice forced the Caps to “consider some different options,” ahead of playing Lapierre on a third line with Miroshnichenko and Ryan Leonard in the team’s preseason finale.
