• Capitals Face Tough Loss Against Devils Without Ovechkin: Player Updates on McMichael, Roy, Miroshnichenko, and Tactical Changes Ahead of Panthers Matchup
    Nov 25 2024

    The Washington Capitals faced a tough 3-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils, marking their first back-to-back defeats of the season, exacerbated by the absence of captain Alex Ovechkin due to a broken fibula. With Ovechkin sidelined for 4-6 weeks, the team is experimenting with line adjustments, such as moving Taylor Raddysh into the top six and Tom Wilson to the first line, while keeping the third line stable. Despite a bright spot with Matt Roy's first goal as a Capital and Connor McMichael's strong performance, the team struggled with offensive momentum and special teams, allowing two power-play goals. Their recent scoring challenges have resulted in only three goals in the last two games, prompting the need for tactical adjustments as they prepare for upcoming matches, including a road trip to Florida. Meanwhile, Ethen Frank excelled in the Hershey Bears game, contributing significantly to their success and ranking sixth in the league with 18 points.

  • Ovechkin's Injury Impact: Capitals' Offense & Defense Adjustments, Goaltending Stars, and Team Morale
    Nov 23 2024

    Alex Ovechkin will be sidelined for four to six weeks due to a fractured left fibula, impacting his pursuit of Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record as he currently sits at 868 goals. The Capitals, led by head coach Spencer Carbery, will likely adjust their lines, with players like Connor McMichael and Dylan Strome stepping up in Ovi's absence. His recovery is critical, as he could return by December 20 or January 2, missing up to 18 games. The team has been performing well offensively and defensively, ranking high in goals scored and fewest allowed while excelling in special teams. Individual players, such as Rasmus Sandin, have contributed significantly, and goaltending has been strong with Logan Thompson and Charlie Lindgren. Nonetheless, there are areas for improvement, particularly in reducing shots allowed and managing high-danger scoring chances.

  • Ovi’s Absence: Cap's Depth Tested with Dubois Shining and Thompson Standing Tall Against the Avalanche
    Nov 22 2024

    Alex Ovechkin is sidelined for 4 to 6 weeks due to a fractured left fibula, a significant loss for the Capitals as he has only missed 59 games in his 20-year career, with injury-related absences being notably rare. Before the injury, he was enjoying an outstanding season, leading the NHL with 15 goals in 18 games and closing in on Wayne Gretzky's all-time scoring record. The injury occurred during a game in Utah, and while surgery isn’t needed, the timeline for his return remains uncertain. In his absence, head coach Spencer Carbery has emphasized maintaining team energy and focus. Players like Dylan Strome and Connor McMichael have stepped up, and the defense remains strong, led by John Carlson and Jakob Chychrun. In a recent match against the Colorado Avalanche, the Capitals lost 2-1, with Pierre-Luc Dubois scoring their only goal and goaltender Logan Thompson making 24 saves on 26 shots, showcasing the team's need to rally together during this challenging period.

  • Ovechkin's Injury Update, Miroshnichenko's Call-Up, and Milano's Setback: A Capitals Roundup
    Nov 21 2024
    In this edition of the Locked on Capitals Podcast Dan discusses significant updates regarding the Washington Capitals, particularly focusing on the injury of captain Alex Ovechkin, who is out week-to-week with a knee-on-knee injury sustained during a game against the Utah Hockey Club. In light of Ovechkin's absence, the team has called up Ivan Miroshnichenko from the Hershey Bears, where he has been performing exceptionally with 14 points in 16 games. Additionally, Sonny Milano has been placed on long-term injured reserve due to an upper-body injury, freeing up salary cap space for the team. Coach Spencer Carbery expressed sympathy for Milano, showing the team's support during these challenges. Despite Ovechkin's injury, the Capitals remain strong in the standings, averaging the highest goals per game in the NHL. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

  • Ovechkin's Injury, Strome’s Surge, and Caps’ Offense: A Dominant Road Trip Recap
    Nov 19 2024

    The Washington Capitals recently showcased their resilience during a successful road trip, ending with a strong 6-2 victory over the Utah Hockey Club. Despite concerns over Alex Ovechkin's health following a knee-on-knee collision, he remains a top performer this season, currently leading the NHL in goals with 15. His linemates, Dylan Strome and Aliaksei Protas, have also been significant contributors, with Strome ranking fourth in the league with 28 points. Off the ice, the team's camaraderie was highlighted by Tom Wilson's defense of Ovi, while Lars Eller made a notable return. Overall, the Capitals' offensive contributions are up, as they’ve managed to score six or more goals in six of their first 18 games, and their special teams have been effective, with a power play scoring streak and a strong penalty kill. Additionally, goalie Charlie Lindgren's impressive performance, with a .923 save percentage, has bolstered the team's efforts.

  • Milano's Injury Woes, Eller's Return, and Coach Carbery's Game Strategies Ahead of the Avalanche Showdown
    Nov 15 2024

    The Washington Capitals held a practice session after a 4-3 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, focusing on regrouping and addressing key errors from the game. Head coach Spencer Carbery emphasized a calm approach to help the team regain focus. In lineup changes, Lars Eller rejoined the team as the third-line center, replacing Hendrix Lapierre, while Sonny Milano was ruled out for the upcoming road trip due to a week-to-week upper-body injury. Milano's injury timeline began during a game against the Nashville Predators, where he was injured despite initially appearing fine. This setback is particularly frustrating for him, as he had just started to find his rhythm in the lineup after facing challenges early in the season. As the Capitals prepare to face the Colorado Avalanche and the Vegas Golden Knights, they hope to overcome these hurdles and find success on the road.

  • The Capitals had a strong start but lost focus and fell to the Maple Leafs in OT. Welcome back, Lars Eller!
    Nov 14 2024

    The Capitals faced a dramatic loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, surrendering a 3-1 lead and ultimately losing 4-3 in overtime, highlighted by a strong comeback from Toronto that included key goals from Marner and Nylander. Logan Thompson performed well in goal despite the loss, stopping 31 of 35 shots, while officiating decisions played a significant role, including disallowed goals for Carlson and Lorentz. On a positive note, the Capitals' top line of Strome, Protas, and Ovechkin displayed impressive chemistry, with Strome leading the team in points. In team news, the Capitals announced the return of Lars Eller from the Penguins, a vital player from their 2018 Stanley Cup win, though he will not play in the upcoming game. This acquisition aims to bolster the team's center depth amid ongoing challenges at that position.
