The Capitals were founded as an expansion franchise in 1974. After early struggles, Washington has become a fairly regular playoff team, and have been one of the NHL’s most successful expansion teams. The Capitals have appeared in two Stanley Cup Finals (winning in 2017-18), won 12 division titles, and been awarded three Presidents’ Trophies, given annually to the team that finishes with the most points in the regular season.
