Summary

74% Informative

The Washington Capitals have the best record in the Eastern Conference playing their first 34 games at 115 -point pace.

Brian MacLellan , who has moved from general manager to president of hockey operations, was busy last summer making moves no one paid much attention to.

He appointed low-profile executive Chris Patrick as general manager, an announcement that almost went unnoticed.

But in a few days in June and early July , he made a series of moves that were almost as headline-screaming as the Patrick appointment.

MacLellan : “We didn’t expect to be where we are but we expected to be a playoff team. We’ve added a lot through trades and free agents. That’s not that surprising to us.” The Capitals welcome the diversion from everyday life.
