Capitals vs. Islanders Game Thread 10/31/25

The Caps got a bounceback performance on Tuesday night against the Stars, doing pretty much everything right except scoring a goal (…knew they forgot something) – but a much better effort than what they showcased a few nights earlier. They’ll need to show that same resilience as they prepare for yet another Friday-Saturday back-to-back set, this time starting at home against the Islanders before…

Capitals vs. Islanders: How the Game Was Lost

The Capitals have spent a lot of this early season struggling to regain the scoring touch that was such a big factor in last year’s hot start and overall success, and last night’s loss was yet another reminder that they still haven’t found it. Over the last three games, they’ve managed just two goals – and with the offense having dried up of late, something as close as a 2-1 deficit can feel like…

Capitals vs. Sabres Recap: Sixty Not Enough in 4-3 SO Loss

The Caps came into Buffalo looking to get off to a quick start, establish their game, and take it to the Sabres as the road team wrapping up their back-to-back set. They did that…and then kind of forgot how to play hockey for a bit, kicking off a wild first period and then a defensive stalemate for the rest of regulation. Plus: When the Sabres roared back with three goals to take the lead…

Capitals vs. Sabres Game Thread 11/1/25

The Caps slumped their way to the end of October, dropping three straight and managing only two goals in that time, but hopefully that’s left behind with the flip of the calendar page, and they’ll be able to kick November off on a high note up in Buffalo. The Sabres are also on a three-game skid, so…someone’s got to snap out of it, right? First, some admin stuff: Pierre-Luc Dubois…

Capitals vs Blues Recap: Ovechkin’s 900th is Game-Winning Goal in 6-1 Victory

Well the Caps finally decided to score some goals! The Caps came out strong in the first period, putting up probably their best shift of the season, keeping the Blues hemmed in for what seemed like forever. The Caps drew a power play from it and scored on it after a Tom Wilson tip. The second period the Caps went off, scoring four goals, including Alexander Ovechkin’s 900th which was a…

Capitals vs. Penguins: How the Game Was Lost

It’s not news to anyone that the Caps are struggling on the power play; it’s been a frequent topic of discussion here and elsewhere and definitely in the Capitals’ locker room. Unfortunately the power play issues have overshadowed the fact that the team has also not been that great while shorthanded, either – and while they’d been on a bit of a streak of penalty-killing success coming into last…

Capitals vs. Penguins Recap: Special Teams Not So Special in 5-3 Loss

On the second of back-to-back games (again) the Caps headed into the home of their rivals looking to carry over some momentum from their big win over the Blues on Wednesday. As the puck dropped, it seemed that idea went out the window as they gave up two power-play goals to Sidney Crosby (of course) and found themselves down 3-0 before the second period was three minutes old.

Capitals vs. Lightning Game Thread 11/8/25

After a disappointing end to a promising comeback in Pittsburgh, the Caps now head south on their road trip, their next stop taking them to Tampa to face the Lightning. The Caps downed the Bolts in overtime last month, and look to have the same success (maybe in regulation this time?) with their second meeting. First, some admin stuff: The Caps will make one lineup swap…
