Capitals make their first big move of the 2026 offseason

This just in, the Washington Capitals have extended head coach Spencer Carbery's contract on a multi-year agreement.

Carbery's contract was set to expire next offseason and it's not yet known the length of this extension. The 2025 Jack Adams Award winner as the NHL's top coach has been a revelation in Washington. He has revamped the team and given them a second life after a few years of stagnation.

“We are pleased to extend Spencer to a new multi-year contract,” said Capitals GM Chris Patrick in a prepared statement. “Since joining our organization, Spencer has played an important role in the development of many of our young players while also earning the respect and trust of our veteran leaders. His communication skills, strong relationship-building, and ability to connect with players at every stage of their careers have made him a great leader of our club. In addition, he has helped foster a positive and accountable culture within our team, creating an environment where players can grow and succeed. We have been extremely impressed with his commitment, professionalism, and passion for coaching, and we are excited to see him continue building on that success.”
