Capitals vs. Devils Recap: Caps Back to Winning in 4-3 OT Win

Heading into the break, the Caps let a one-goal lead slip away in the third period and very quickly fell into a very deep hole to the Rangers. Tonight’s game seemed destined to go the same way after two quick strikes by the Devils to first tie, then go ahead – but the Caps (led by a resurgent third by Alex Ovechkin) made sure to snag an all-important point Plus: How about the Caps not letting…

Capitals vs. Devils: How the Game Was Won

The Capitals have not had a ton of success this season with games that have gone past regulation, picking up just one win prior to last night (a 3-2 OT win over Tampa way back in mid-October). So the general sentiment heading into overtime in Newark last night, against one of the league’s better overtime/shootout teams, was likely that of dread. But no one told Jakob Chychrun the Caps weren’t…

Capitals vs. Panthers Recap: Infraction-Filled Night in 5-3 Caps Loss

Caps-Cats games are rarely dull, and tonight’s game was no exception…although perhaps this one had a bit too much action, and not of the good kind, in a penalty-filled affair that ultimately went the wrong way for the good guys. Plus: Two goals for Tom Wilson tonight, you absolutely love to see it. Minus: We try not to pile on the refs too much around these parts, because it’s a fast…

Capitals @ Panthers: How the Game Was Won

The Washington Capitals hit the ice in Sunrise, Florida last night to face off against the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers. The Caps were coming off a post-holiday break overtime win in New Jersey and were hoping to take some good momentum into their game against the Panthers. Washington actually got off to a solid start, getting on the board first courtesy of Tom…

Capitals vs Rangers Recap: Where There’s a Willy, There’s a Win

On the day that Tom Wilson and Logan Thompson were announced to join the Canadian Olympic team, Wilson led the team to a huge win for the Caps. It was a close game throughout until the Caps pulled away in the third, taking two very important points before they head to Ottawa tomorrow to play a rested Senators’ team. Plus: The Caps didn’t blow a third period lead! After doing that very thing…

Capitals vs. Senators Game Thread 1/1/26

Welcome to 2026, babes! The Caps are right back in action to start the new year with a capital clash in Ottawa against the Senators – a team that absolutely walloped them 7-1 back at the end of October. Feels like a great time to get some revenge on the heels of yesterday’s win over New York, doesn’t it? First, some admin stuff: Time to start the new year off on the right foot!

Capitals at Senators Recap: Caps Lose Late in Ottawa, 4-3

After a convincing win against the Rangers yesterday at home, the Capitals came out flying today against the Senators, but their legs just couldn’t keep up with the young, rested legs of the Ottawa Senators. This is why back to backs are such a stupid gimmick in the NHL. No reason a team should have to play a game then travel across international lines to play a rested team in their own barn…

Capitals vs Senators: How the Game Was Lost

Yesterday’s loss in Ottawa was a tough one. The Caps came out flying and were dominant early, but as is often the case in the second game of a back-to-back, the legs started to look tired as the game went on. They blew a two goal lead before giving up the winning goal with less than three minutes left in regulation. The Caps had just tied the game on a beautiful passing play involving Tom…

Capitals vs. Blackhawks Recap: Caps Shootout Woes Continue in 3-2 Loss

After last game’s disappointing finish, given tonight’s opponent and the continued insanity that is the Metro Division/Eastern Conference, the Capitals absolutely needed to get at least a standings point out of this one. They did just that, forcing overtime courtesy of a slick Ryan Leonard backhand swipe to tie the game in the third and making it all the way to the shootout… Plus: Good on the…

Capitals vs. Blackhawks: How the Game Was Lost

The easy answer to the question “how did the Capitals lose last night’s game?” is simply “the shootout stinks and should be fired into the sun”…but it’s not really that simple, and the Caps did put up a decent fight in the shootout before giving up the winner to Nick Foligno (also, really??). So let’s talk about what got them to the shootout in the first place, because this was a game that…

Capitals vs. Ducks Recap: Sourdif’s Hat Trick Lifts Caps to 7-4 Win Over Ducks

The last time the Washington Capitals and Anaheim Ducks met, Ryan Leonard left the game after a hit from Jacob Trouba that kept him out of the lineup for nearly three weeks. Would tonight bring revenge for Washington and Leonard? Spoiler alert: it absolutely would! Plus: Washington’s second line of Connor McMichael-Justin Sourdif-Ryan Leonard was firing on all cylinders tonight.

Capitals vs. Ducks: How the Game Was Won

The Washington Capitals were looking for revenge against the Anaheim Ducks last night after their meeting last month, and boy did they get it. Despite the Ducks getting on the board first, the Capitals went on to score five unanswered goals to make it 5-1. They let Anaheim back in it for a bit to bring the score to 5-4, but the Caps finished them off with two empty netters. Although Alex Ovechkin’…
