The Capitals are one of the oldest teams in the NHL. Has Father Time passed them by?

The Washington Capitals are one of the oldest teams in the NHL. They are playing their opening game against Boston Bruins on Wednesday. Last year they made the playoffs for the eighth straight season, but they lost in first round for fourth consecutive time. The team's graying roster and injuries to Nicklas Backstrom and Tom Wilson have some people concerned about their future. The Athletic's staff has the Capitals as a playoff team, while 10% of its writers believe they will be the biggest disappointment in NHL this season. DraftKings Sportsbook gives Washington the 13th best odds to win the Stanley Cup at +3,500.
