Dmitry Orlov is the only sure thing on the left side of the Washington Capitals‘ blue-line. Peter Laviolette and the Capitals’ coaching staff need Orlov to perform as well as he has in seasons past or the 2021-2022 iteration of the Washington Capitals’ defensive unit could have their wheels fall off before they even get on the road. Luckily, Orlov will have a career-year this season, after fully adjusting to Laviolette’s system and getting back to a sense of normalcy that the COVID-19 pandemic has robbed us all of, Dmitry Orlov will be the most valuable Capitals’ defender.
