After a long and exciting first day, the future Capitals were back on the Kettler ice for the second day of Development Camp. Today’s sessions featured drills by the goaltenders followed by a full practice session.
GOALIES
Over on the Capitals’ rink, goaltending coach Mitch Korn had each of the goalies do a shuffle. They looked like crabs!

Delia would then face shots from three different angles.

FULL SQUAD
Once the goalies were done, it was time for all players to participate. There were three different drills going on at once, each one on different parts of the ice. Over on one end was the short rink. Kevin Elgestal had two goals in this clip.

Jonsson-Fjallby and Beck Malenstyn dropped down and did push-ups at the end of the drill. Looks challenging doing it on the ice.

Then everybody switched to the public rink to continue drills. There was another short rink, though not as short as earlier. Check out where the nets are.
