Capitals vs. Hurricanes Recap: Swords Up in 4-3 OT Win

After a pretty brutal road trip (that at least had a decent ending), the NHL schedulers didn’t give the Caps any breaks, hitting them with a Saturday night bout against the Carolina Hurricanes as a “welcome home” present. That’s a tough task on any night; on this night, the Caps went into it minus both their goalies, half of their top-four defensemen, and Connor McMichael. All of that makes…

Capitals vs. Hurricanes: How the Game Was Won

Last night’s Metro Division throwdown with the visiting Hurricanes was one for the scrapbooks…but it certainly didn’t feel like it would be early on in the game. Despite having the better of the play from the opening faceoff, a couple of unforced mistakes had the Caps down by two after the first period and down 3-0 before the second was five minutes old. It seemed like this game was destined to be…

Capitals vs. Islanders Recap: The Streak Goes to Three in 4-1 Win

Their last two games required extra time to secure the victory. Tonight, the Caps weren’t messing around with that post-60 minutes nonsense, getting the equalizer and the game-winner in roughly 30 seconds early in the second period, then putting the lockdown on the Isles to ride to victory. Plus: After ceding the first goal, the Caps had the perfect response with two quick strikes from Martin…

Capitals vs. Islanders: How the Game Was Won

After a couple of nail-biters against Detroit and the Hurricanes, and with just a handful of points separating themselves and their opponent, the Caps needed to find a way to just get a regulation win last night. It wasn’t always the prettiest – which tends to be the way it goes when the Caps and Isles clash – but the Caps put together a workmanlike effort to protect their rookie netminder and…

Capitals @ Flyers Recap: Caps Can’t Complete Comeback in Philly, Lose 4-2

Despite being Metro Division opponents, the Washington Capitals had yet to face the Philadelphia Flyers this season before tonight’s matchup. The Capitals were on the second half of their tenth back-to-back on the season tonight, heading into Philly after beating the Islanders 4-1 in DC last night. The Flyers, on the other hand, had a two-day break between their last game—a home OT loss to the…

Capitals @ Flyers: How the Game Was Lost

The Washington Capitals came into last night’s game looking to extend their modest three-game winning streak. Unfortunately, the Philadelphia Flyers had other plans. The Flyers gave themselves a two-goal lead in the first 25 minutes of the game, putting pressure on the Caps to make the comeback. They made a pretty good effort all things considered, tying the game just 2:40 into the third.

Capitals vs. Predators Recap: Caps Hit Break with 4-2 Win

Before the boys could scatter to parts unknown (for most, and Milan for a few), there was some unfinished business to take care of – namely, a date with the Nashville Predators. They would get some reinforcements for this final pre-Olympic break, with both Pierre-Luc Dubois and Logan Thompson making their triumphant returns to the lineup – and those two would be a huge part of a very important win…

Capitals vs. Predators: How the Game Was Won

The Capitals played 58 games coming into last night’s matchup with the Predators; all but six of those had been played without Pierre-Luc Dubois, who missed more than three months recovering from abdominal and adductor muscle surgery suffered on Halloween. Last night, Dubois reminded all of us how much of an impact he can have on the lineup when healthy – and he did it almost right away.

Capitals vs. Predators Game Thread 2/5/26

Bad news first: Their last time out, the Caps saw their three-game winning streak – their longest since late November/early December – snapped by division rival Philly. The good news? They’re still very much in the playoff hunt, and tonight they get some reinforcements in the form of Pierre-Luc Dubois! That’s right, PLD is all healed up (we hope) and ready to get back to work. He’ll get one…
