Washington Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery earned considerable praise for what he was able to do in D.C. in his first year as an NHL head coach, as he finished seventh in voting for the Jack Adams Award.
The Jack Adams goes to “the NHL coach adjudged to have contributed the most to his team’s success,” as selected by the NHL Broadcasters’ Association.
Carbery is coming off an impressive year with Washington, where he helped the underdog Capitals defy the odds and return to the Stanley Cup Playoffs after missing out entirely a season before. He went 40-31-11 for 91 points in his first campaign behind the bench with a .555 points percentage.
