Capitals vs Hurricanes: How the Game Was Lost

Playing against the Carolina Hurricanes requires you to accept that no matter what you do, no matter how well you play, there is no escaping your fate; you are going to be outshot by a significant margin. You are going to lose the MoneyPuck “Deserve to Win O’Meter.” Your starting goaltender is going to face a barrage of shots from the point that will paint him in the same light as Dominik Hasek if…

Capitals vs. Jets Recap: Caps Toothless in Hellebuyck’s Return, Lose 5-1

The Caps have been on a pretty decent run of late, and have been a strong road team overall this season…neither of those things was on display tonight in Winnipeg, however, as they seemed unprepared to play hockey from the opening faceoff on, from the goalie to the forwards. Thus endeth a nine-game point streak, in embarrassing fashion. Plus: The Caps busted up Connor Hellebuyck’s shutout in…

Capitals vs. Jets Game Thread

The Caps are back on the road, getting in some nice, chilly air with a little Central Division swing through Winnipeg and Minnesota. First up, a Jets team that has definitely hit a rough patch since losing starting goalie Connor Hellebuyck…but he could make his return tonight, and even without Hellebuyck they’re always a tough matchup for the Caps. In good lineup news, however…

Gr8 Memories: Howe Do You Do

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. So each game day throughout the 2025-26 season, we’re going to be picking an Ovechkin moment to remember against that day’s opponent as we look back at an incredible career. On December 13…

Capitals vs. Wild Recap: Caps Drop Second Straight Sloppy Game 5-0 to the Wild

Coming off a less than stellar game against the Winnipeg Jets, the Caps decided they wanted to partake in that again and got stampeded by the Wild. Up and down it was a pretty terrible game by the Caps and there isn’t much to say about it besides that. Plus: There aren’t really any positives to talk about. The Caps did have some chances, they weren’t completely quiet but they didn’t convert…

Capitals vs Wild: How the Game Was Lost

The Caps followed up a lackluster loss to the Winnipeg Jets over the weekend, where they were almost shutout 5-0, with a lackluster game in Minnesota last night where they did get shutout 5-0. There’s a lot of places you could pick where the Caps lost the game but might as well start with the first goal by the Wild…because it was all downhill from there.. Just a little over two minutes into…

Capitals vs. Wild Game Thread 12/16/25

The Caps’ mini road trip got off to a rocky start to say the least, with the team stumbling to a 5-1 finish in Winnipeg. They have a chance to redeem themselves tonight in Minnesota…of course, they’ll now be facing a Wild team with 100% more Quinn Hughes, aka one of the best if not the best defensemen in the league right now. One player does not a team make, however, and the Caps have been playing…

Capitals vs. Maple Leafs Game Thread 12/18/25

The Caps have been stumbling a bit of late, having dropped three in a row including two-straight in which they were outscored by a combined 10-1 margin. So…not really what we’re looking for, especially considering how tight the standings are. They return home tonight to face a Maple Leafs team going through some similar issues, having dropped three of their last five (although they are fresh off a…

Capitals vs. Maple Leafs: How the Game Was Won

After two straight games where the Caps gave up the first goal – and proceeded to lose by a large margin – it seemed important for them to get off to a stronger start last night against the visiting Leafs. Thanks to Justin Sourdif and Aliaksei Protas, they did just that, getting the Caps on the board with the eventual game-winning goal just a little over 14 minutes into the first period.

Capitals vs. Leafs Recap: Defense Leads Offense in 4-0 Win

The Caps have not looked like themselves since gleefully taking two days off last week, and returning home after a two-game road trip, they needed a big effort to get back on track. They sure got it, getting on the board first and never really looking back. Plus: In a penalty-filled game, the Caps’ special teams came to play. The penalty killers took care of business on all five Toronto power…
