    Washington Capitals:

    Alex Ovechkin — Nicklas Backstrom — Tom Wilson

    Jakub Vrana — Evgeny Kuznetsov — Brett Connolly

    Andre Burakovsky — Lars Eller — Devante Smith-Pelly

    Chandler Stephenson — Nic Dowd — Dmitrij Jaskin

    Michal Kempny — John Carlson

    Dmitry Orlov — Matt Niskanen

    Christian Djoos — Madison Bowey

    Braden Holtby

    Pheonix Copley

    Scratched: Jonas Siegenthaler, Travis Boyd

    Injured: T.J. Oshie (concussion), Brooks Orpik (knee surgery)

     

    First Period:

    Capitals Goal – :41 – Nicklas Backstrom (10) from Alex Ovechkin (13) and John Carlson (23)

    Capitals Goal – 6:08 – Chandler Stephenson (2) from Nic Dowd (3) and Dmitrij Jaskin (4)

    Ducks Goal – 9:24 – Ryan Getzlaf (8) from Rickard Rakell (15) and Pontus Aberg (5)

    Ducks Penalty – 13:06 – Rickard Rakell 2 minutes for Boarding

    Capitals PPG -13:19 – Tom Wilson (8) from John Carlson (24) and Evgeny Kuznetsov (17)

    Hits               09                  04

    PP                 0/0                 1/2

     

    Analysis:

    This was a very good period for the Capitals. They got an early jump on the Ducks on the score board, and took a 2-0 lead. When Ryan Getzlaf scored to get the Ducks back into the game, the Capitals responded very well by drawing a penalty and scoring on the subsequent powerplay.

     

    Need to Do:

    The Capitals need to continue playing the way they are and keep the pace to their liking. The Ducks will look to use their size and power to wear down the Capitals, but the Capitals need to continue to use their speed and create more scoring opportunities for themselves.

     

    Second Period:

    Capitals Goal – 4:59 – Evgeny Kuznetsov (7) from Brett Connolly (10)

    Ducks Penalty – 4:59 – Bench (Aberg) 2 minutes for Delay of Game (Offsides Challenge Failed)

    Capitals Goal – 13:30 – Nic Dowd (4) from Chandler Stephenson (4) and Dmitrij Jaskin (5)

    Ducks Goal – 14:31 – Andrew Cogliano (2) from Jacob Larsson (2) and Ryan Getzlaf (13)

    Ducks Goal – 15:26 – Rickard Rakell (5) from Adam Henrique (10)

    End of 2nd – ANA – 3        WAS – 5

    Shots               18                 19

    Faceoffs          19                 24

    Hits                 15                  05

    PP                   0/0                  1/3

     

    Analysis:

    For the first 14 minutes of the second period the Capitals were very dominate, but after Nic Dowd scored to make it 5-1 the Ducks dominated the final 6 minutes of the 2nd period and cutting the Capitals lead from 4 to 2.

     

    Need to Do:

    The Capitals need to play a full 20 minutes and force the play in the Ducks’ zone. The Capitals cannot play “not to lose” hockey and turtle into their own zone. The Capitals need to keep their feet moving and force the Ducks to make mistakes and make them into opportunities for themselves.

     

    Third Period:

    Capitals Penalty – 1:56 – Evgeny Kuznetsov 2 minutes for Slashing

    Ducks Penalty – 3:41 – Nick Ritchie 2 minutes for Tripping

    Capitals Penalty – 6:25 – Dmitry Orlov 2 minutes for Boarding

    Ducks PPG – 7:16 – Pontus Aberg (8) from Hampus Lindholm (10) and Ondrej Kase (3)

    https://twitter.com/AnaheimDucks/status/1069356089471262721

    Capitals Penalty – 8:10 – Dmitry Orlov 2 minutes for Boarding

    Ducks Penalty – 12:48 – Kiefer Sherwood 2 minutes for Boarding

    Ducks Goal – 14:55 – Pontus Aberg (9) from Ryan Getzlaf (14) and Kiefer Sherwood (4)

    End of 3rd – ANA – 6         WAS – 5

    PP                 2/3                    1/5

     

    Analysis:

    The Capitals blew this one big time. All they had to do was play a full 20 minutes and keep the play in the Ducks zone, but instead they took bad penalties and allowed the Ducks back into this one and walk out of Washington with a 6-5 victory.

     

    Next Up:

    Washington (15-8-3 33pts) @ Vegas (14-13-1 29pts)

    Anaheim Ducks:

    Projected Lineup:

    Rickard Rakell — Ryan Getzlaf — Jakob Silfverberg

    Nick Ritchie — Adam Henrique — Ondrej Kase

    Injured: Corey Perry (knee surgery), Cam Fowler (facial fractures), Patrick Eaves (back spasms)

     

    Keys to the Game:

    1. Use their size

    The Ducks have a big team, and the Capitals have not been the most physical team. The Ducks will need to use that to their advantage, and wear down the Capitals.

     

    Washington Capitals:

    Projected Lineup:

    Alex Ovechkin — Nicklas Backstrom — Tom Wilson

    Jakub Vrana — Evgeny Kuznetsov — Brett Connolly

    Andre Burakovsky — Lars Eller — Devante Smith-Pelly

    Chandler Stephenson — Nic Dowd — Dmitrij Jaskin

    Michal Kempny — John Carlson

    Dmitry Orlov — Matt Niskanen

    Christian Djoos — Madison Bowey

    Braden Holtby

    Pheonix Copley

    Scratched: Jonas Siegenthaler, Travis Boyd

    Injured: T.J. Oshie (concussion), Brooks Orpik (knee surgery)

     

    Keys to the Game:

    1. Get a good start

    The other night the Capitals started both the 1st and 2nd periods with hot starts by scoring quickly, but they then were dominated for the most part by the New Jersey Devils. However, despite the Devils best efforts, the Capitals persevered and won the game. The Capitals will need to get the jump on the Ducks, and expect the same.

     

    2. Stay out of the box

    The Capitals need to stay out of the penalty box and allow themselves the ability to roll all four lines. Also the Capitals need to do a better job at drawing penalties as well.

    The Habs come into this game looking to snap a five game losing streak. The Habs have made a few roster and line changes since their last game on Tuesday.

    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.

    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)

    Capitals Penalty – 1:05 – Madison Bowey 2 minutes for High Sticking

    Devils Penalty – 7:29 – Taylor Hall 2 minutes for Tripping

    Devils SHG – 9:23 – Travis Zajac (8) from Blake Coleman (7)

    Capitals Penalty – 17:39 – Tom Wilson 5 minute major for Illegal Check to the Head

    Shots               26                 18

    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)

    Devils Penalty – 8:26 – Miles Wood 4 minutes for Butt-Ending

    Devils Penalty – 10:17 – Sami Vatanen 2 minutes for Hooking

    Capitals PPG – 10:57 – Nicklas Backstrom (8) from Evgeny Kuznetsov (16) and John Carlson (22)

    Devils Goal – 12:35 – Nico Hischier (5) from unassisted

    Devils Goal – 18:10 – Marcus Johansson (4) from Nico Hischier (10) and Taylor Hall (18)

    Capitals ENG – 18:30 – Alex Ovechkin (19) from unassisted

    Capitals ENG – 19:37 – Nicklas Backstrom (9) from Alex Ovechkin (12)

    Capitals Penalty – 19:56 – Madison Bowey 2 minutes for Delay of Game

     

    End of 3rd – NJ – 3         WAS – 6

    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.

    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.

     

     

    New Jersey Devils:

    Projected Lineup:

     

    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.

     

    Washington Capitals:

    Projected Lineup:

     

    Capitals Notes:

     

    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.

    OFFICIAL! – TXHT Podcast Changing Formats, Date and Time in 2019

    Official Statement:

    “The Xperience: Hockey Talk”, aka TXHT, will be undergoing a format change for it’s podcast starting in January 2019. As a result of this format change that TXHT will be going through, TXHT will go on a break for the rest of the year effective Wednesday November 28th, 2018.

     

    We can announce that one of the changes that TXHT will be undergoing will be that TXHT will no longer air live on Facebook Live or on Twitch moving forward. Instead TXHT will now be recorded and then posted in an article here on TXHThockey.com every Saturday at 8a EST. the reason we are doing this is because our team has grown in the past few months since the creation of the TXHT website, and we want to give these new members of the TXHT team an opportunity to have their voices heard alongside their articles. However, we have been finding it difficult to try to get them on the show with the current format hence the changes that we are making to the podcast.

     

    TXHT will still feature Washington Capitals game coverage along with NWHL and NHL coverage, but will now feature some more unique features to the show that we can’t wait to debut.

     

    We thank everyone for your continued support, and we can’t wait to roll out the new and improved TXHT podcast in January.
