The Washington Capitals have built one of the NHL’s strongest defense corps this season, and a big reason is the pairing of Jakob Chychrun and Matt Roy.
Head coach Spencer Carbery found the perfect combination of Chychrun’s offensive instincts and Roy’s steady, stay-at-home approach. Together, they’ve helped the Capitals outscore opponents 18–4 at five-on-five and flip last year’s metrics upside down.
In this video, we break down:
– How Chychrun and Roy developed instant chemistry in 2025.
