Game Recap – 11/30/2018 – New Jersey Devils v. Washington Capitals

New Jersey Devils (9-10-4 22pts) v. Washington Capitals (14-7-3 31pts)

Preview:

The Washington Capitals enter their weekend homestand on a 6 game winning streak as they take on the New Jersey Devils, who last time these two teams met whitewashed the Capitals 6-0. However, in their past six games the Devils have only won one game (1-2-3), and are looking to turn things around for them.

For the Capitals, they have been 7-1-0 since the return of Tom Wilson from suspension, and without key players TJ Oshie and Evgeny Kuznetsov who are both out due to concussions, but with the promising prospect of gaining Kuznetsov back, that could add a kick to the Capitals powerplay that has struggled during these winning times.

End of 1st – NJ – 0 WAS- 1

Shots 09 08

Faceoffs 12 07

Hits 07 03

PP 0/1* 0/0 *2nd in Progress

Analysis:

This was an ok period for the Capitals. The scored early on a great play by Alex Ovechkin to Nicklas Backstrom. However, the Devils did a good job of attacking the Capitals and making it difficult to leave their own zone. Plus on the Devils powerplays so far they have exposed the Capitals at certain times because of the Capitals being extra aggressive on the penalty kill.

Need to Do:

The Capitals need to do a better job of getting out of the zone cleaner, also the Capitals need to ease up on the aggression on their penalty kill a bit as mentioned above, the Devils have found an opening and is exposing it to their advantage. Lastly, the Capitals need to keep the feet moving and draw some penalties to get their powerplay on the ice.

Second Period:

Capitals SHG – :08 – Tom Wilson (7) from Matt Niskanen (8)

End of 2nd – NJ – 1 WAS – 2

Shots 26 18

Faceoffs 21 12

Hits 09 04

PP 0/3* 0/1 *4th in progress

Analysis:

This was a rough period for the Capitals. It started off well from when Tom Wilson scored 8 seconds into the period but after that the Devils out hustled and out worked the Capitals in many facets of the game. The Devils were also the more physical. Braden Holtby has been spectacular in this game and is a huge reason this game is still 2-1 Capitals.

Need to Do:

The Capitals need to kill off the last 2:39 seconds of Tom Wilson’s Match penalty, which was an overblown call as he never made head contact, and once they do they need to pick up the pace and take it to the Devils. Also the Capitals are getting killed in the faceoff circle and needs to do a better job in the 3rd period.

Third Period:

Capitals Goal – 5:45 – Andre Burakovsky (4) from Michal Kempny (6) and Nicklas Backstrom (23)

End of 3rd – NJ – 3 WAS – 6

Shots 36 31

Faceoffs 30 27

Hits 12 06

PP 0/5 1/4

Analysis:

In what was a very hard fought battle for the Capitals as they had to endure against a faster Devils team, as well as the loss of Tom Wilson to a very questionable Match penalty for an “illegal hit to the head” when replays clearly showed he hit the shoulder while trying to get out of the way of Brett Seney while Seney was backing up. However, the Capitals persevered and won their seventh straight game. The Devils made it difficult for the Capitals, but they found a way.

Also after celebrating surpassing Peter Bondra to become 2nd Franchise history in Points, Nicklas Backstrom would record a hat trick (3 goals) and an assist to continue where he left off against the New York Islanders.

Keys to the Game:

1. Need to play with urgency

When the Devils first played the Capitals, they played a very strong game that showed the team’s urgency to win battles and create scoring opportunities. They will need to find that urgency if they hope to replicate their previous victory as they are facing a more focused Capitals team.

Capitals Notes:

From the Capitals:

Alex Ovechkin won’t skate today. Maintenance for an upper-body injury. He skated yesterday.

Kempny, Smith-Pelly and Kuznetsov are all scheduled to skate. Kuznetsov (concussion) has not been medically cleared yet, so this is just another step for him.

— Isabelle Khurshudyan (@ikhurshudyan) November 29, 2018

Reirden expects Ovechkin, Smith-Pelly and Kempny to all play tomorrow.

Less sure on Kuznetsov, who hasn’t been cleared yet, but as I tweeted earlier, he looked fairly full-go in practice today.

— Isabelle Khurshudyan (@ikhurshudyan) November 29, 2018

Keys to the Game:

1. Get a good start

I feel like we have to say this all the time now being how the Capitals keep starting slow and then getting better as the game goes on. This is a trend that needs to bucked by the Capitals and start stronger than they have.

2. Get the powerplay rolling

Lately the powerplay has not been a strong suit for the Capitals, and while many will blame the lack of players like TJ Oshie and Evgeny Kuznetsov, even before they were injured the powerplay was starting to get faulty. They have been having difficulty entering the zone and they have been over passing as well, and they just need to get the puck in the zone and just simplify everything.

Joe Pavelski would also score in the contest and this would also be his fourth consecutive game with a goal.

The lone NWHL contest of yesterday pitted the Boston Pride against the Buffalo Beauts.

Boston’s Jillian Dempsey and Gigi Marvin would both score twice to give the Pride a big win over the Buffalo Beauts at Warrior Ice Arena last night.

Dempsey scored her goals in the first period and then sealed the win for the Pride with her second goal of the contest with 6:40 left in the third period.

The Boston Pride would play strong defensively in this contest, giving up Buffalo’s lone goal at the 7:40 mark in the second. Hayley Scamurra would get the goal for Buffalo.

Hayley Scamurra has four goals and four assists on the season.

Pride G Katie Burt registered 25 saves on 26 shots and Beauts G Nicole Hensley would have 22 saves on 26 shot attempts.

With the win, Boston is now in second place in the NWHL standings at 3-1 with the Minnesota Whitecaps at 6-0, who return to NWHL action in two weeks.

The Buffalo Beauts now sit at 2-3-0 in the standings, good for third place. The Metropolitan Riveters are at 1-5-0 and rounding out the standings is the winless Connecticut Whale at 0-3-0.

The Boston Pride and Buffalo Beauts will face off again at 2:30pm today at Warrior Ice Arena.

RECAP: Jillian Dempsey and Gigi Marvin each scored twice as @TheBostonPride took a 4-1 win over the @BuffaloBeauts. Rematch tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. at @WarriorIceArena!
