The Washington Capitals have fired assistant coach Mitch Love after a league-wide investigation into his personal conduct.
Multiple reports suggest that investigation looked into allegations of domestic abuse.
The decision to relieve Love of his duties came after the NHL suspended him for the entire 2025-26 season.
According to reports, the victim reported allegations against Love directly to the NHL while he was interviewing for head coach positions, including one with the Seattle Kraken, during the summer. The investigation began in June.
In a post to social media addressing the situation, the Capitals said "the organization is committed to maintaining the highest standards of conduct and accountability."
