Capitals vs. Canadiens: How the Game Was Won

Tuesday night in DC, the Caps exploded for seven goals against the Oilers before packing up and heading up to Montreal, where a much younger and rested Canadiens squad awaited them. It was a tough ask to expect another victory, let alone an offensive explosion like they’d had the night before. But the boys rose to the occasion and put together a thrilling, if not always pretty, victory in one of…

Capitals vs. Lightning Recap: Bolts Bolt Out Early, Caps Fall 5-3

In each of their first two meetings, the Caps and Bolts had combined for a total of five goals; tonight, they’d done that much damage in just the first period, with Tampa following the Caps’ opening-minute tally with four straight. A bit of a wild one followed, with the Caps clawing back to within one before Tampa’s late goal off a funky bounce gave them the victory and the season series win.

Capitals vs. Blue Jackets Recap: Caps Defensemen Lead the Way in 5-1 Victory

Plus: Whatever adjustments the Washington Capitals made to their special teams between Saturday’s game against Tampa and tonight seemed to work, because both the power play and penalty kill looked much more lively. They held the Columbus Blue Jackets’ power play off the board and, even more importantly, they scored a power play goal! Minus: Logan Thompson was well on his way to an impressive…

Capitals vs. Blue Jackets: How the Game Was Won

The Washington Capitals really needed a bounceback game after Saturday night’s rough outing against the Lightning. Fortunately for them, and unfortunately for the Columbus Blue Jackets, they got just that. Although the game got off to a bit of a slow start for both teams, the Capitals were in control pretty much from the beginning and ended up scoring five unanswered goals. Tom Wilson scored one…

Capitals vs. Jets Recap: Caps Graze the Tower Against Jets in 4-3 Win

The last time the Caps held a ceremony for Alexander Ovechkin they got clobbered by the Ottawa Senators 1-7. Tonight the Caps held a ceremony for Ovechkin again, this time for being the only player to hit 900 goals. This time they didn’t disappoint, scraping out a win for the good guys. Plus: The Caps did allow three goals but they also only allowed 20 shots which is good stuff.

Capitals vs. Jets Game Thread 11/26/25

Fresh off a big win over the Jackets that saw their defensemen pitch in with a handful of goals, the Caps now hit the ice for their traditional pre-Thanksgiving game at Capital One – this year against the visiting Winnipeg Jets. It’ll be a Jets team with a slightly different look than usual, however, as reigning Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck is out with a knee injury.

Capitals vs. Maple Leafs Game Thread 11/28/25

From the traditional pre-Thanksgiving game on Wednesday, we now shift to the post-Thanksgiving turkey stupor game – this year against the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs. The Leafs have been struggling of late, having won just two of their last nine (both in overtime), but they do have Auston Matthews back in the lineup and are always a tough draw. The Caps will look to make it three wins in a row…

Capitals vs. Maple Leafs Recap: Caps Claw Back to Win 4-2

What a battle from the boys in red. After getting a goal called back 20 seconds into the game that should have been counted, then going down 0-2, they fought back, stuck with their game and in regulation. Between Jakob Chychrun extending his goal streak to five games and Logan Thomson making some amazing saves, it was a win that the scouting department would be proud of. Plus: Overall the…

Capitals vs. Maple Leafs: How the Game Was Won

If the Caps had lost this game, it was an easy choice to pick The Moment it happened – how a disallowed goal 20 seconds in tanked the Caps. Thankfully the boys fashioned a third-period comeback, ripping off four straight goals after falling behind 2-0 for a 4-2 win. It wasn’t the prettiest win, as Logan Thompson had to come up big a few too many times, but the Caps showed heart to fight back from…
