    Game Recap – 10/8/2019 – Dallas Stars v. Washington Capitals

    Dallas Stars (0-3-0 0pts) v. Washington Capitals (2-0-1 5pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    Coming into tonight’s game the Washington Capitals look to get back to their winning ways as they host an injury depleted Dallas Stars team that is still looking for their first win of the season. The Capitals would also be getting back superstar forward Evgeny Kuznetsov, who would score the first goal of the game to give the Capitals the 1-0 lead a little under five minutes into the game. Both teams would trade powerplay opportunites, but neither team would capitalize thus keeping the Capitals 1-0 lead intact going into the first intermission

     

    In the second period it would be the Stars responding early as Roope Hintz would score his fourth of the season two minutes into the period to tie the game at one a piece. However, after another failed powerplay opportunity the Capitals would regain the lead when John Carlson would get a knuckler through the seven hole on Bishop to give the Capitals the 2-1 lead. The Capitals would get a late powerplay, but were unable to capitalize before time expired in the period.

     

    In the third period the Stars would dominate the Capitals during the first half of the period and would score as a result when Alexander Radulov would deflect an Esa Lindell shot past Braden Holtby to tie the game at two. Then about six minutes later Nick Caamano would push the puck past Holtby to give the Stars their first lead of the game at 3-2. With 30 seconds left in the period with Holtby pulled Nicklas Backstrom would tap in a loose puck in the crease to tie the game at three and send the game into overtime. However, 43 seconds into overtime the Stars would clinch their first victory of the 2019-20 season as Tyler Seguin would score to make it a 4-3 victory for the Stars.

  • Capitals Look to Regain Momentum vs a Falling Stars Team

    Capitals Look to Regain Momentum vs a Falling Stars Team

    Washington Capitals (2-0-1) v. Dallas Stars (0-3-0)

     Predicted GoaltenderRecord (W-L-OTL)GAA/SV%
    Washington CapitalsBraden Holtby1-0-12.36/.900
    Dallas StarsBen Bishop0-2-02.59/.900

    Tonight, the Washington Capitals are looking to get back on the winning side of things as they face off against the Dallas Stars in the first of two meetings this week. The Capitals won two of their first three games, and secured 5 of 6 possible points, giving them a strong start to the season. The Dallas Stars, on the other hand, are looking to just win.

    Four days ago, the Capitals dropped the first of four meetings with the Carolina Hurricanes in a 3-2 overtime loss. On the date of their Home Opener, the Capitals were hoping to beat the team that eliminated them in the first round last season. A powerless Capitals’ power play and poor refereeing gave the Hurricanes a prime opportunity to overtake the division, and now remain undefeated with three wins to start their season. One of the newest additions to the Capitals roster, Garnet Hathaway, scored his first and second goals of the season, although the second goal was overturned due to alleged ‘goaltender interference’. T.J. Oshie scored his second of the season, but despite being gifted with six power play opportunities, the Capitals were unable to convert on a single one. One bright spot of the evening, was an improved faceoff percentage, which was something the Capitals seriously struggled with last season. Washington won 55.4% of their face-offs, and through three games have won 52.3% of all face-offs taken, which is (so far) significantly better than their 40-some percent from last season (TheScore, Washington). Tonight, the Capitals need to take advantage of any power plays gifted to them, and need to play strong in front of their goaltender. Despite a strong showing by the newest Caps back-up goaltender Ilya Samsonov, Braden Holtby is expected to get the start for the Washington Capitals tonight.

    The Dallas Stars haven’t won a single game yet this season, giving them a 0-3-0 start for the first time since the franchise moved to Texas. It is also the first time in history the team has failed to secure at least one point since the 1988-1989 season in which the-then North Stars started their season with four straight losses (Shapiro). Although losing streaks aren’t new to the Stars’ organization, and while we aren’t even a full week into the season, the Dallas Stars need to begin firing on all cylinders, and that means defense needs to start defending, and offense needs to start scoring. Stars Center Roope Hintz has three goals in three games, and scored two of the teams’ three total goals in their last game versus the Detroit Red Wings. In that disheartening road loss, the Stars started off hot, having scored two goals in the first period. However, Detroits’ Anthony Mantha didn’t just score two goals to tie the game in the second, but went on to score a hat-trick, plus one, to lift the Red Wings over the Stars, 4-3 (Lage).

    In other Caps’ news, Travis Boyd cleared waivers, and will report to the Hershey Bears. Jonas Siegenthaler, who was ‘sent to Hershey’ as a paper transaction will in fact start for the Capitals tonight. Defenseman Michal Kempny, who was first expected to dress tonight against the Stars, will not make tonight’s roster (RotoWire). Forward Evgeny Kuznetsov has completed his three-game suspension and will play in his first game of the season tonight.

    Coverage of the game begins at 6:00pm with Caps Faceoff Live, followed by Caps Pregame Live at 6:30pm, all on NBCSN/NBCSWA, with puck drop shortly after 7:00pm.

  • Malkin, Bjugstad out long term for Penguins *UPDATED*

    Malkin, Bjugstad out long term for Penguins *UPDATED*

    Earlier today, Penguins’ head coach Mike Sullivan shared with Wes Crosby of NHL.com, that Pittsburgh forwards Evgeni Malkin and Nick Bjugstad are expected to miss a significant amount of time after suffering lower-body injuries during their game versus the Columbus Blue Jackets last Saturday night. The two collided during their eventual 7-2 win over Columbus, with Malkin then awkwardly hitting the boards, causing further injury.

    https://twitter.com/chasepwilliams/status/1180646071103623168?s=20

    The Penguins acquired Nick Bjugstad from the Florida Panthers last season in a trade involving team mate Jared McCann, in exchange for Derick Brassard, Riley Sheahan, and future draft picks. It is unclear to what extent Bjugstad’s injury will impact his play this season.

    Prior to the start of the season, Evgeni Malkin expressed considerable optimism regarding a ‘bounce-back year’ after a disappointing 2018-19 showing. Malkin scored just 21 goals last season, half of his previous years’ 42 goals, and ended the season with a -21 rating (NHL). Although the injury does not seem to be season-ending, it is of concern to Pens staff and fans. According to Josh Wegman of theScore, the 33-year old center has only played more than 70 games once in the last seven seasons.

     

    *UPDATE*

    As an update to our earlier report, per Darren Dreger, Pittsburgh forward Evgeni Malkin suffered a soft tissue injury during the Pens’ recent game versus the Columbus Blue Jackets (Coulson). As stated earlier, Malkin is expected to miss a ‘significant amount’ of time, and that prognosis has been updated to the Russian missing at least 4 weeks.
