Capitals @ Hurricanes Recap: Caps Weather the Storm in 4-1 Win

Plus: The Washington Capitals have been struggling on special teams as of late, but not tonight! They went 1-for-5 on the power play, and the penalty kill came up big tonight and kept Carolina’s power play off the board despite five chances. Minus: The Capitals probably could have tallied a few more goals and run up the score a bit, but Freddie Andersen was incredible in net for the…

Capitals @ Hurricanes: How the Game Was Won

The Washington Capitals desperately really a bounceback game in Carolina last night, and boy did they get it. The Carolina Hurricanes are typically a tough opponent for the Caps, but the Caps seemed to be operating on a completely different level than usual against them. They were dictating play for the majority of the game, their special teams showed up, and several players had killer individual…

Gr8 Memories: Alex Ovechkin…Florida Panther?

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.

Capitals vs Panthers Recap: Road Trip Ends in 6-3 Loss

Plus: Despite not recording a point, Ryan Leonard stood out. The 20-year-old was buzzing all night with seven shots on goal, and a particularly excellent shift towards the end of the third where he led a flurry that ended with a Rasmus Sandin goal aided by his screen in front. For a team looking for a spark offensively, this was an encouraging sign. Minus: Similar themes keep recurring in…

Capitals vs Panthers: How the Game Was Lost

Dylan Strome gave an interesting quote after the Capitals’ 4-1 win against the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday: For the first nine minutes of Washington’s tilt against the Florida Panthers on Thursday, things were playing out just as he described; Washington, a team that has consistently controlled the larger share of scoring chances, was peppering Panthers goalie Daniil Tarasov as they…

Capitals vs Devils Recap: Comeback Leads to 3-2 Shootout Loss

Plus: The early returns on the Ovechkin-Strome-McMichael were positive, to say the least. The trio rocked an expected goals share over 80% while being responsible for both goals that gave Washington a point out of what looked like a hopeless endeavor for forty minutes. Minus: Hendrix Lapierre was effectively stapled to the bench in the latter stages of the game, a less encouraging sign for a…

Capitals vs Devils: How the Game Was Lost

For the first forty-one minutes of the Washington Capitals’ Saturday night tilt against the New Jersey Devils, it appeared as if the Caps were stuck in what’s become familiar territory in recent weeks. They began the evening with an early parade to the sin bin, putting a maligned penalty killing unit out on the ice three times in the game’s first ten minutes. They were lucky to get out of that…

Capitals vs. Kings Recap: Lindgren Backstops 2-1 Win

The Caps faced a tough task tonight, taking on a team that has picked up the majority of their wins on the season on the road – nine of their ten coming into this one, in fact. Which is…good. So the hometown team would need to bring their “A” game to not only take on the best road team in the league but also start to climb out of their funk. Mission accomplished, as they got timely scoring and a…

Capitals vs. Kings: How the Game Was Won

Strong starts are always important in hockey; when you’re a struggling team hosting a team that is dominant on the road, even more so. Last night, the Caps needed to get off to a good start against the visiting Kings – and they did just that, thanks to former LA King Matt Roy. It didn’t take Roy and the Caps all that long to get the home crowd on their feet. Just over three minutes into the…

Capitals vs. Oilers Recap: Caps Hang On For 7-4 Win

Even though the Oilers have been struggling like the Caps to start the season, the Caps needed to bring their A game because the Oilers have arguably the two best players in the world in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. The Caps did a great job taking four different two-goal leads – and though they didn’t finish strong they still had to do what they needed to get the win against the talented…

Capitals vs. Canadiens Recap: Ovechkin, Frank Lead Way in 8-4 Win

The last time these two teams met was back in the spring in DC, with the Caps sending the Habs packing from the playoffs in their opening-round playoff series. They renewed acquaintances, and plenty a shove, sharp word, and stick penalty, tonight in a wild one at the Bell Centre. Plus: A second-straight game that saw the Caps score 7+ goals? Great. Having not one but TWO power play goals…
