Capitals vs. Canucks Game Thread 10/19/25

Fresh off their dominant win over the Wild on Friday night, the Caps now face another opponent visiting from out west, as the Canucks are in town for a Sunday matinee. The Caps will look to keep their winning streak rolling and fend off the Sunday scaries. First, some admin stuff: Pierre-Luc Dubois isn’t quite ready and is headed to the IR for now, so expect roughly the same lineup…

Capitals vs. Canucks Recap: Comeback Falls Short in 4-3 Loss

The Sunday Scaries hit the Washington Capitals hard early on this matinee game, giving up struggling Vancouver star Elias Pettersson’s first goal of the season less than a minute into the game, giving the Canucks a lead that would expand by 3 more goals by the second period. Washington would chip away at the lead with a late period Ryan Leonard PPG in the second, and would find themselves in…

Capitals vs. Canucks: How the Game Was Lost

One could make the argument that yesterday’s game was lost less than one minute into the game, when Elias Pettersson put the Canucks up 1-0 at :59 of the first period. Hell, one could make the argument it was lost the second the puck dropped, because one team was ready to go and one team was decidedly not. Amazingly, it was the more rested team that fell into that latter category…

Capitals vs. Kraken Game Thread 10/21/25

Sunday’s game against the Canucks was…not great. So the Caps will certainly be looking to turn the tide after a disappointing loss and wrap things up at home on a high note before a one-game jaunt up to Columbus this weekend. They’ll face a Seattle team that has been solid to start the season but is coming in fresh off their own disappointing loss just up I-95 in Philly last night.

Capitals vs. Kraken: How the Game Was Won

The Capitals bounced back after a tough game (well, more like a tough first period) against the Vancouver Canucks and took it to a tired Seattle Kraken team winning 4-1. The boys in red came out strong but were only able to score one goal in first period after a pretty passing play from Brandon Duhaime to John Carlson who faked a shot in the slot before sliding the puck down to Nic Dowd at…

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…

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…
