In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about all of the activity from the first day of training camp. Max Pacioretty missed camp because he was at treatment. There's no timetable on his return. Nick Backstrom looked great and said he feels great but doesn't want to talk about his hip anymore. Evgeny Kuznetsov is ready to put last season behind him. Tom Wilson was in top form and was excited about entering into this season injury free. Brian Maclellan talked what he expects from Spencer Carbery. He let's him do the coaching and doesn't like to get involved. Alex Ovechkin faced injured last year and was disappointed the Capitals didn't make it to the playoffs.
