The Washington Capitals are hiring Spencer Carbery as their next head coach, sources confirmed to ESPN. Carbery, 41, was one of the buzziest names on the coaching circuit.

He most recently was an assistant coach with the Toronto Maple Leafs, running their power play. He now returns to the Washington Capitals organization, where he came up through the ranks coaching for their ECHL and AHL affiliates.

Sportsnet was first to report Carbery's hiring. The Capitals parted with veteran Peter Laviolette this off-season after missing the playoffs for the first time in a decade.

Laviolette's contract was not renewed after three seasons with the team; he has since interviewed for other vacancies in the division, including with the New York Rangers.
