Adam Carlson was picking up where he left off from yesterday. He looks to have a big season with the South Carolina Stingrays.

DEFENSE AND A GOALIE
The defensemen began their session by skating backwards. Speaking of defensemen, an important one that’s currently on the Capitals got a new contract.

Then it was time to line up and go from one end of the ice to the other… backwards.

HE SAID IT
Barry Trotz spoke with reporters following Friday’s session.
Trotz on if going into the last year of his contract changes anything: “No, 0.0 percent.”
— Isabelle Khurshudyan (@ikhurshudyan) June 30, 2017
Trotz would continue saying, “I don’t feel it’s that big of a deal for me. I’m in a good spot. Maybe we’ll have our best year.” *Wink*
Barry Trotz winked twice during presser just now. Last time that happened Paul Carey was swapped into the lineup for Brett Connolly.
