    Game Recap – 11/3/2019 – Calgary Flames v. Washington Capitals

    Calgary Flames (8-6-2 18pts) v. Washington Capitals (10-2-3 23pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    In Washington the Capitals take on the Calgary Flames for the second and final time of the 2019-20 season, and after celebrating the Washington Nationals and their World Series Championship victory it would be the Flames crashing the party after a poor Dmitry Orlov pass was picked off by Matthew Tkachuk and he would quickly pass it to Andrew Mangiapane who would get it past Ilya Samsonov for the early 1-0 lead. However, the Capitals would respond in kind as Evgeny Kuznetsov would utilize his speed to generate an odd man rush and feed Jakub Vrana for the tap in to tie the game at one. The with less than five minutes left in the first period Dmitry Orlov would rip off an outlet pass to keep it in the zone and Jakub Vrana would let one rip to score his second of the game to give the Capitals their first lead of the game, but right before the buzzer went off to end the period the Flames would strike when Elias Lindhold would deflect a point shot past Samsonov with two seconds left in the period to send the game into the intermission tied 2-2.

     

    In the second period it would be a very back and forth period with not a lot of action, however, with five minutes left in the period Kznetsov would breakout Vrana who would collect his rebound and get it past Cam Talbot to collect his first career hat trick and retake the lead for the Capitals as they took a 3-2 lead into the second intermission.

     

    In the third period the Capitals would get an early powerplay when Mikael Backlund would be called for tripping and near the end of the powerplay with their secind unit Tom Wilson was able to move the puck across the slot to Lars Eller who would roof it past Talbot to grow the Capitals lead to two. Then both teams would trade powerplay opportunities, but with the Flames on their second opportunity the Capitals would shut them down as they would take the 4-2 victory.

    Game Recap:

    The Washington Capitals come to Calgary looking to grow their current winning streak to four games, but the Flames will look to end that for the Capitals. In the first period both teams would trade powerplay opportunitie, but neither team would be able to capitalize on their chances. the first period would also see the Flames out shoot the Capitals 15-9.

     

    In the second period some puck luck would come the Capitals way as John Carlson would get a lucky one past Cam Talbot to give the Capitals the 1-0 lead 35 seconds into the period. Then a little over two minutes later Chandler Stephenson would get the puck from Talbot behind the net and throw it in front and hit of the defender and into the empty net for the 2-0 lead. However, on a questionable call on Alex Ovechkin for interference would give the Flames their second powerplay opportunity, and this time they would strike as Johnny Gaudreau would feed Elia Lindholm for the powerplay strike. The Flames would get another powerplay opportunity, but moments after it expired Austin Czarnik would score his first of the season to tie the game, but 10 seconds later Alex Ovechkin would score his seventh of the season to retake the lead for the Capitals.

     

    In the third period It would be Tom Wilson scoring to expand the Capitals lead to two, and then with the Flames net empty John Carlson would score his second of the game to reach 20 points for the month of October., However, the Flames would get one more on the board as Tabias Rieder would get on the board, but it would not be enough as the Capitals would be victorious 5-3.

    Calgary Flames (33-13-5 71pts) v. Washington Capitals (27-17-6 60pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    The Washington Capitals came back from the break looking fresh, and would show it early on as they would get the first goal of the game when the Capitals would force the play in the Calgary Flames zone and Nic Dowd would tip in a John Carlson point shot for his fifth of the season. The first period would feature a lot of back and forth between these two teams, but late in the period we would have some fireworks when Mikael Backlund would score on a beautiful individual effort to tie the game at one a piece, but the Capitals would not lay down as they brought the play to the Flames and crashed Mike Smith’s net and Dmitrij Jaskin would knock in the rebound for his second of the season, and give the Capitals the 2-1 lead with less than 45 seconds left in the period.

     

    The Capitals would start the second period on fire as the second line of Tom Wilson, Evgeny Kuznetsov, and Jakub Vrana would connect for a quick goal on a Wilson wrister less than a minute into the period. Then 83 seconds later, the Flames would get one back as a point shot by TJ Brodie would take a couple deflections and go off of Garnet Hathaway to cut the Capitals lead back to one. The Flames would take back to back penalties to allow the Capitals powerplay an opportunity to get into the game, and while the first powerplay looked good for the Capitals, the second opportunity was not as good. However, the Capitals would get their third straight powerplay opportunity when Mark Giordano would take his second penalty of the period. The Capitals would get some good looks, but once again would not be able to capitalize on the powerplay. In the second period the Capitals out shot the Flames 16 to 7.

     

    The third period would not start in the Capitals favor as Michal Kempny would be called for a penalty 45 seconds into the period, but would kill off that penalty only to take another penalty when Dmitry Orlov would be called for holding. The Capitals would persevere as they would kill off their second straight penalty. However, the Flames would tie the game up when Elias Lindholm would tip in a Johnny Gaudreau point shot. But it would be a late penalty against Backlund for Holding that would result in a powerplay goal by Kuznetsov to win the game for the Capitals and end their 7 game losing streak.
