The Washington Capitals have hired Spencer Carbery as their next coach. The team announced the move Tuesday. Carbery once was considered the heir apparent to veteran Capitals coach Peter Laviolette dating to his time with Washington’s top minor league affiliate. Carbery coached the American Hockey League’s Hershey Bears for three seasons from 2018-21 before getting an NHL job as an assistant with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Capitals got him back in the role they envisioned for him before a rival team could scoop him up.
