Andrew Cristall Washington Capitals NHL preseason goals roster battle
Watch as 20-year-old winger Andrew Cristall continues to impress in the NHL preseason, scoring his fourth goal in seven career exhibition games. In the Capitals’ 4-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, Cristall netted a power-play goal, tying for second on the team with two goals this fall.
Cristall’s performance includes a shootout winner against the Devils and strong stats like 15:49 ice time, four shot attempts, and three high-danger chances. Competing against players like Sonny Milano and Hendrix Lapierre, the waiver-exempt forward from the WHL aims to secure a spot on the Capitals’ opening-day roster.
With NHL teams setting rosters by October 7, Cristall’s path could lead to the NHL or AHL Hershey Bears. Head coach Spencer Carbery praises the high-level play in the roster battle.
This video breaks down Cristall’s preseason highlights, stats, and chances of making the Washington Capitals team.
