    Finding a way to finally get it done: Caps beat Penguins 3-2 (SO)

    The Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins did rivalry night battle for just the second time this season on Thursday night. A pretty important two points were on the line as the Eastern Conference playoff picture is very tight around the Wild Card spots.

    Alex Ovechkin opened the scoring with a casual one-time power play strike from his office. Danton Heinen slammed home a rebound to tie the game at one. Marcus Johansson absolutely ripped a wrister over Casey DeSmith’s glove to give the Caps their lead back. Bryan Rust equalized with around seven minutes left in the third.

    The Pens survived an overtime Capitals power play so here are your shootout bullets:

    • Oshie did not put the biscuit in the basket
    • Rakell put the biscuit in the basket
    • Kuznetsov put the biscuit in the basket (in very slow motion)
    • Crosby did not put the biscuit in the basket
    • Backstrom put the biscuit in the basket
    • Malkin did not put the biscuit in the basket

    Caps win 3-2 in a shootout!

    Nic Dowd provides an update on his lower-body injury after missing four games

    Capitals center Nic Dowd last played on January 16 against the New York Islanders. After just 57 seconds of ice time in that game, he took a hit from Isles forward Cal Clutterbuck that took him out of action with a lower-body injury. Afterward, Capitals head coach Peter Laviolette said Dowd would be out for a bit.

    Dowd has missed four games in a row since then as he works to get himself back healthy and into the lineup.

    He spoke about that process with 106.7 The Fan’s Grant Paulsen and Danny Rouhier on Wednesday.

    The Capitals will wear their Stadium Series jerseys in one other regular-season game

    The Washington Capitals’ design of their new Stadium Series game jersey was posted on Thursday morning. The sweater marks the first time the Weagle — the team’s longtime shoulder patch — has been utilized as the main logo on a jersey.

    Fans will obviously see the uniform in action during the Capitals’ outdoor game against the Carolina Hurricanes on February 18, 2023, at NC State’s Carter-Finley Stadium. But in the Caps’ official announcement, they also revealed the team will wear the get-up in one other regular season game before hanging it up for good this season.
