    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.

    Game Recap:

    The Washington Capitals started the game strong as they drew an early penalty, but despite generating some really good opportunities the Capitals would not be able to capitalize on their first powerplay. But the Chicago Blackhawks would be able to weather the Capitals early surge as a great individual effort by Brandon Saad to break past the Capitals defense to get the first goal of the game. Then 80 seconds later Jonathan Toews would feed Patrick Kane for his 28th of the season and a 2-0 Blackhawks lead. However, the Capitals would respond with a goal of their own as Brooks Orpik throws the puck on net and gets past Collin Delia to cut the lead to one, but then 28 seconds later, the Blackhawks would get their two goal lead back when Dmitry Orlov accidentally batted the puck into the net while trying to knock it out of the air.

     

    The start of the second period would not be kind to the Capitals as another defensive breakdown would leave Alex DeBrincat open to give the Blackhawks a 4-1 lead. However, the Capitals would show some life and with a strong shift from Lars Eller, Tom Wilson, and Jakub Vrana would generate some scoring chances. then some fireworks would take place as both teams would get into some rough stuff with coincidentals being given to both sides. Then after the dust settled, Michal Kempny would be called for hooking, but the Capitals would kill the penalty. Then a bit later, Orlov would throw a shot from a a bad angle and beat Delia to cut the Blackhawks lead to 2.

     

    The Capitals would start the period very well when Orlov would tee up John Carlson for a one timer to give the Capitals their third goal of the game, but the Blackhawks would respond right away as Nicklas Backstrom would take an ill advised penalty that lead to a Patrick Kane powerplay goal. Then on another defensive breakdown Jonathan Toews would score his second of the game to give the Blackhawks a three goal lead. However, the Capitals would not lie down as they would get another goal from Carlson on a great play. Then Matt Niskanen would score off of a great play set up by Travis Boyd as the Capitals cut the Blackhawks lead to one. However, some sloppy play by Orlov agaist Toews one on one would result in Toews netting his third of the game to give Chicago the 7-5 lead. Then Dylan Strome would net the empty netter to ice the game for the Blackhawks 8-5, and giving the Capitals their fifth consecutive loss.
