The NHL completed its first 8-year expansion cycle by adding franchises in Washington and Kansas City.
Despite being led in scoring by team captain Simon Nolet, the Scouts finished in last place with a 15–54–11 record.
Kansas City's games aired on radio station WDAF-AM with Dick Carlson the play-by-play broadcaster.
In their first season, the Capitals would set an NHL record for futility, losing 67 of 80 games, and only winning one on the road.
