    Game Recap – 11/23/2019 – Vancouver Canucks v. Washington Capitals

    Vancouver Canucks (11-8-4 26pts) v. Washington Capitals (16-4-4 36pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    Celebrating Hockey Fights Cancer with a special starting six, the Washington Capitals would play host to the Vancouver Canucks and a little over two minutes into the game Jakub Vrana would unleash a bullet past Jacob Markstrom to take the early 1-0 lead. The Capitals would then get a powerplay opportunity, but they would not be able to capitalize on it despite getting some quality chances. Then the Canucks would get the Capitals into penalty to get a 58 second two man advantage that would see Elias Pettersson score to tie the game at one. The Capitals would be able to kill off the second penalty to keep the game tied at one. After some more back and forth between the two teams, time would expire and remain tied at one going into the first intermission.

     

    In the second period there would be no goals scored, but the Capitals would give the Canucks two more powerplay opportunities. However, this time the Capitals were able to execute the penalty kill much better than in the first period. Tom Wilson would also draw an interference call on Tyler Myers to give the Capitals their second powerplay of the game, and will have a little over a minute of powerplay time to start the third period.

     

    In the third period the Capitals would fail to score on their powerplay to open the period, and again on a powerplay they earned while forcing the play in the Canucks zone they would fail to capitalize on the opportunity. Both teams would trade chances late in the third, but neither team would score and the game would go to overtime. In overtime Evgeny Kuznetsov would take a hooking penalty, but the Capitals would stay alive by killing off the penalty. In the final minute of overtime both Alex Ovechkin and TJ Oshie would try to secure the victory for the Capitals, but Jacob Markstrom would stand tall to force the game to go to the shootout. Then after six scoreless rounds, it would be Bo Horvat scoring in the seventh round to secure the 2-1 victory for the Canucks.

    Game Recap – 2/5/2019 – Vancouver Canucks v. Washington Capitals

    Vancouver Canucks (24-23-6 54pts) v. Washington Capitals (28-18-6 62pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    The Washington Capitals would start off hot as they would force the play in the Vancouver Canucks zone early as TJ Oshie would charge the net for the Nicklas Backstrom rebound to get the Capitals the first goal of the game. The goal would also be assisted on by Alex Ovechkin who would be come the highest scoring Russian player in NHL history.

    However, 39 seconds later Evgeny Kuznetsov would be called for hooking, but the Capitals would kill of the penalty. The Capitals would get a powerplay opportunity as well, but could not convert on it. The Capitals would dominate the period which featured them out shooting the Canucks 18 to 5.

     

    This was a lackluster period. Not a whole lot really to talk about this period outside of the penalty shot opportunity for Bo Horvat, but Braden Holtby was up to the task to shut Horvat down to keep the 1-0 lead.

     

    The Capitals would start off the third period the same way they way started the game by crashing the net, this time with Brett Connolly banking in the shot to give the Capitals a 2-0 lead. However, the Canucks would respond with their first goal of the game when Markus Granlund would tip in a Antoine Roussel pass past Holtby. But the Capitals would respond in kind as the Capitals would create more chaos in front of the Canucks net to get the puck past Jacob Markstrom to make it a 3-1 lead. The Canucks would dispute the goal claiming it was hit with a high stick, but the referees declared it a good goal by Jakub Vrana after further review. Elias Pettersson would score with 8 seconds left in the game with the goalie pulled, but it would be too little too late for the Canucks as the Capitals hold on to win 3-2.
