Capitals make Lynden Lakovic, a winger from Moose Jaw, their top pick
The Washington Capitals continued a franchise trend Friday night in the NHL draft, selecting a forward with their first-round pick for the sixth straight year when they made Lynden Lakovic, a 6-foot-4, 190-pound winger from Moose Jaw in the Western Hockey League, the choice.
The Capitals had to wait nearly four hours to make the 27th pick, with the prospects on-site in Los Angeles at the Peacock Theatre and the teams making their choices from their home facilities across North America. But when their turn came, General Manager Chris Patrick was ready.
