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…

Capitals vs. Canadiens: How the Game Was Won

Tuesday night in DC, the Caps exploded for seven goals against the Oilers before packing up and heading up to Montreal, where a much younger and rested Canadiens squad awaited them. It was a tough ask to expect another victory, let alone an offensive explosion like they’d had the night before. But the boys rose to the occasion and put together a thrilling, if not always pretty, victory in one of…

Capitals vs. Lightning Recap: Bolts Bolt Out Early, Caps Fall 5-3

In each of their first two meetings, the Caps and Bolts had combined for a total of five goals; tonight, they’d done that much damage in just the first period, with Tampa following the Caps’ opening-minute tally with four straight. A bit of a wild one followed, with the Caps clawing back to within one before Tampa’s late goal off a funky bounce gave them the victory and the season series win.

Capitals vs. Lightning Game Thread 11/22/25

The Caps are currently riding their second three-game winning streak of the season – and their first in over a month – as they prepare for tonight’s battle with the Bolts. Amazingly, tonight’s game already marks the third and final meeting of the regular season between these two squads, with each team having won once (the Caps in overtime back in mid-October, the Lightning winning earlier this…

Capitals vs. Blue Jackets Recap: Caps Defensemen Lead the Way in 5-1 Victory

Plus: Whatever adjustments the Washington Capitals made to their special teams between Saturday’s game against Tampa and tonight seemed to work, because both the power play and penalty kill looked much more lively. They held the Columbus Blue Jackets’ power play off the board and, even more importantly, they scored a power play goal! Minus: Logan Thompson was well on his way to an impressive…

Capitals vs. Blue Jackets: How the Game Was Won

The Washington Capitals really needed a bounceback game after Saturday night’s rough outing against the Lightning. Fortunately for them, and unfortunately for the Columbus Blue Jackets, they got just that. Although the game got off to a bit of a slow start for both teams, the Capitals were in control pretty much from the beginning and ended up scoring five unanswered goals. Tom Wilson scored one…
