  • Capitals Look to Continue Hot Streak vs Calgary Flames

    Capitals Look to Continue Hot Streak vs Calgary Flames

    Washington Capitals (6-2-2) v. Calgary Flames (5-4-1)

      Predicted Goaltender Record (W-L-OTL) GAA/SV%
    Washington Capitals Braden Holtby 2-1-2 3.83/.862
    Calgary Flames David Rittich 4-2-1 2.84/.912

     

    Tonight, the Washington Capitals are playing their 2nd game of this five game road trip. Riding a three-game win streak, the longest of the season thus far, the Capitals are definitely trending in the right direction. The Calgary Flames, however, after a hot 2018-19 season, are looking to find some consistency after dropping 3 of their last 6 games.

    The Capitals defeated the Chicago Blackhawks in a 5-3 win on Sunday. The Blackhawks’ were unable to convert on even a single one of the five power plays they were gifted, including a four-minute stint. Just nine minutes into the contest, TJ Oshie scored his 7th goal, establishing an early Caps’ lead (NHL.com). Drake Caggiula would tie the game after a series of great saves by Braden Holtby overextended his abilities. A high-sticking penalty against Chandler Stephenson gave Chicago a four-minute power play, but it was Nic Dowd who scored a shorthanded goal that would re-establish the Caps’ lead. Alex Ovechkin would score his 6th goal of the season just under four minutes into the final frame. Back-to-back goals by the Hawks tied the game once again. However, less than 90 seconds later, Tom Wilson would ultimately score the game-winning goal for Washington. Lars Eller had quite the roller-coaster of a game. After a bad turnover which directly led to a Hawks goal by Patrick Kane, Eller tallied an assist on Tom Wilsons’ lead-reestablishing goal, and then would seal the deal with an empty net goal of his own. Braden Holtby was named the second star of the night, after a much-needed lights out performance. Despite being peppered by 44 total shots by the Hawks, Holtby stopped 41 of those, his best game thus far. He is expected to start for the Capitals tonight. Most impressive however is the Capitals special teams. Through their last three games, of which all three were wins, the Caps’ power play has scored on four of 10 opportunities, thus operating at 40% efficiency, and the penalty kill units have killed off 90% of the penalties the team has taken.

     

    The Calgary Flames are struggling to find consistency and discipline through 10 games. They won their last game by a score of 2-1 versus the Anaheim Ducks. Goaltender Cam Talbot allowed just one goal on 30 shots (TheScore, CGY @ ANA). Michael Stone scored his first goal of the season, and Mikael Backlund his second just under nine minutes into the third period. Backlund’s goal would hold as the tie-breaking, game-winning-goal the Flames needed to hand Anaheim their first home loss of the season. They rank 31st in penalty minutes, averaging 12.9 per game. Their penalty kill is 6th in the league, operating at 86.5%, but their power play is only at 15.6% efficiency (TheScore, Calgary Flames). Johnny ‘Hockey’ Gaudreau has scored just 3 goals, after coming off a career-high 36 goals last season (Hockey Reference). He is, however tied with Matthew Tkachuk in leading the team in points with 8. Elias Lindholm has established his offensive abilities thus far, with 5 goals and 6 points, including two power play goals (TheScore, Elias Lindholm).

    Coverage of the game begins at 8:00pm with Caps Faceoff Live, followed by Caps Pregame Live at 8:30pm, all on NBCSN/NBCSWA, with puck drop shortly after 9:00pm.

    Game Recap – 10/20/2019 – Washington Capitals v. Chicago Blackhawks

    Washington Capitals (5-2-2 12pts) v. Chicago Blackhawks (2-2-1 5pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    The Washington Capitals embark on a five game road trip to finish the month of October, and they begin in Chicago as they take on the Blackhawks. To start the game the first nine minutes was a bit of back and forth between the two teams until the Blackhawks would head to the penalty box due to an Andrew Shaw penalty, and the Capitals would need only eight seconds to convert on the powerplay as the TJ Oshie would roof a one time pass from Evgeny Kuznetsov to take the 1-0 lead. Lars Eller would get called for tripping shortly after to give the Blackhawks a powerplay opportunity, but the Capitals would shut it down to kill the penalty. To end the period the Blackhawks would get a flurry in the Capitals zone, but it would be Braden Holtby standing tall in net to keep the Capitals 1-0 lead heading into the firt intermission.

     

    In the second period the Blackhawks would start the period with a fresh two minute powerplay after some end of period shenanigans took place between Radko Gudas and Connor Murphy which would see both get two minutes each for roughing, and Gudas getting an additional two minutes for cross checking. However, the Capitals would shut down the Blackhawks and kill the penalty. But the Blackhawks would continue to persist as they would force a turnover in the Capitals zone and Drake Caggiula would net his second of the season to tie the game at one. Then the Capitals would get hit with a double minor to Chandler Stephenson for high sticking, but they would strike while shorthanded when Carl Hagelin would make the pickoff and create a two on one with Nic Dowd who would score to retake the Capitals one goal lead. To end the second period the Blackhawks would outshoot the Capitals 15 to 9 for the period, but the Capitals would make sure that Braden Holtby could see the puck and cut down on the quality chances for the Blackhawks.

     

    In the third period the Capitals would go shorthanded early, but would be able to kill the penalty and then John Carlson would feed Alex Ovechkin a hard pass that Ovechkin would one time past Corey Crawford to give the Capitals a 3-1 lead. However, the Blackhawks would get a really solid shift from their grinder line, and they would cause a lot of chaos in the Capitals zone and Dominik Kubalik would get a lose puck in the crease to score his second of the season. Then after poor passing decision by Lars Eller, the Blackhawks would go on a two on one break which would see Patrick Kane score his third of the season on a beautiful wrist shot, but the Capitals would respond right away as Eller would atone for his costly mistake by creating the play that generated Tom Wilson’s third goal of the season to retake the lead. Then to ice the game Eller would score on the empty net to secure the 5-3 victory for the Capitals.

    New Jersey Devils (2-4-2 6pts) vs Vancouver Canucks (4-3-0 8pts)

     

    Game Recap

    This afternoon, the New Jersey Devils welcome the Vancouver Canucks to the Garden State for an afternoon matinee matchup. This is also a matchup between two brothers in Jack and Quinn Hughes. Each brother was a top 10 pick in the last two NHL entry drafts. Jack Hughes of the Devils went number one overall in this years draft, while brother Quinn Hughes went number seven overall to the Vancouver Canucks in 2018. It would be the younger brother in Jack Hughes who would score his first goal in the NHL and get his team on the board first on the power play. Taylor Hall would feed Hughes the puck towards the right circle who would then fire the puck into the back of the net. That would be the only goal of the period as the Devils would lead 1-0 over the Canucks.

    The second and third periods proved to be underwhelming as each team had very little chances offensively and when each had them, neither could convert. Jack Hughes’ 1st NHL goal would stand to be the only goal of the game and the game winning goal as well. MacKenzie Blackwood would make 24 saves as he earns the shutout and victory. New Jersey has now won two games in a row since their 0-4-2 start to the season. The Devils get some upcoming time off until they play they next Arizona Coyotes at home next Friday. Final score of today’s game would be 1-0.

  • Breaking News: NJ Devils re-sign C Nico Hischier, 7 year 50.75m deal

    Breaking News: NJ Devils re-sign C Nico Hischier, 7 year 50.75m deal

    Yesterday evening, the New Jersey Devils announced they have re-signed their top center Nico Hischier to a 7 year deal worth $50.75 million dollars. Hischier’s contract carries an annual base salary of 7.25 million dollars. In his final season of his contract (2026-2027), he will make 8.5 million. Hischier continues the trend of young stars re-signing with their teams before hitting restricted free agency such as forwards Alex DeBrincat (Blackhawks), Clayton Keller (Arizona Coyotes), and defensemen such as Thomas Chabot (Ottawa Senators) and Samuel Girard (Colorado Avalanche).

    Obviously this is a great move for the Devils as Hischier is a key to the Devils future and continues to show why the Devils were right to draft the Swiss center man first overall back in the 2017 draft. Hischier is a very solid two-way center who can play in all situations and is capable of shutting down another teams top line while putting up points offensively as well. The future looks bright for Hischier and the Devils as they continue to build the foundation of a future Stanley Cup contender.
