Capitals at Blue Jackets Recap: Caps Silence Columbus Cannons with 5-1 Win

If you enjoy fast, fun hockey, this was the game for you. It seemed like the first period went by in a flash and the rest of the game didn’t let up. The first period was a fun back and forth, but the second period the Blue Jackets owned the territorial battle before John Carlson potted a late-period goal from the point. The Caps came out in the third period ready to bounce back…

Gr8 Memories: A Sen-sational Night

We don’t know whether this will be Alex Ovechkin’s final season as a Washington Capital or not, but there’s never a bad time to reflect back on two decades of being treated to this amazing talent.

Caps vs Senators: How the Game Was Lost

Less than 24-hours removed from a 5-1 drubbing of the Columbus Blue Jackets the night before, the Washington Capitals faced an uphill battle taking on a well-rested Ottawa Senators squad on Saturday night, and it showed in the first period. It took fewer than two minutes for a Dylan Cozens tip-in to find its way past Charlie Lindgren for Ottawa’s first tally of the night. The 1-0 lead would hold…

Capitals vs. Senators Recap: Back-to-Back Concludes in Listless 7-1 Loss

Don’t cry because it happened, smile because it’s over. Plus: We almost saw a goalie fight! Minus: Aside from playing their worst game of the season so far, Dylan Strome left the game early in the first period after crashing into the boards and didn’t return. A big blow to Washington’s top-6 right as Pierre-Luc Dubois returns to the lineup. Caps Player of the Game: We’ll give it to…

Capitals @ Stars Recap: Otter Says No as Stars Shut Out Caps 1-0

Plus: Despite the final score, this was actually a good bounceback game for the Washington Capitals after the disappointment that was their date with the Senators on Saturday night. They got dragged up and down the ice three nights ago, but they appeared to have recovered well. The turnaround is particularly notable when considering how poorly the Capitals usually play on the road against the…

Capitals vs. Stars Game Thread 10/28/25

After absolutely ruining a huge milestone night for their captain and treating the home fans to a cluster of a loss against Ottawa, the Caps now hit the road for a quick jaunt to Texas for a Frozen Frenzy Tuesday night clash with the Stars, where they’ll look to get back on track. First, some admin stuff: Rasmus Sandin remains out and Dylan Strome is day-to-day with an injury and…

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…
