1st Period
The Capitals started their first line and first pairing. Ovechkin-Kuznetsov-Sheary and Orlov-TvR. Evgeny Kuznetsov drew a penalty 30 seconds into the game.
Coyotes are dominating the forecheck early at 5v5, and also have several odd-man rushes after Capitals turnovers.
Sonny Milano recorded his first shot on goal as a Capital on a chance near the net. He’s also noticeably backchecking hard.
Evgeny Kuznetsov drew another penalty. Great night from him early.
Sonny Milano with another great chance.
The Capitals had a massive advantage in shots on goal 16-10 and 5v5 attempts 22-14.
2nd Period
🚨 Capitals 1-0. Alex Ovechkin scores from The Ovi Spot on the power play. He passes Gordie Howe for the most goals with a single franchise.
Uh oh. Top defenseman Dmitry Orlov is hurt and questionable to return.
The Capitals finished the period outshooting the Coyotes 23-16 and out-attempting them at 5v5, 34-21.
3rd Period
No Orlov to start the third.
🚨 Capitals 2-0. Anthony Mantha with a pick in front and he scored on his backhand. His fourth goal of the season. It came at 3:23 of the third. It snapped a seven-game goalless streak for Anthony Manthony. (Video)
🚨 Capitals 2-1. Josh Brown scored in front of the net as Christian Fischer set a screen in front. The Capitals challenged for goaltender interference. The goal stands and the Capitals go to the power play due to the failed coach’s challenge. (Video)
🚨 2-2. Nick Ritchie was determined to score a goal after his shot went from off the crossbar and bounced behind the goal line and out. It wasn’t determined a goal in real-time. The buzzer sounded at Capital One Arena so that officials could review the play after Toronto called. The game was restarted with 10:15 remaining. (Video)
The last Coyotes goal took the Capital One Arena crowd completely out of the game.
🚨 3-2. Nick Ritchie scored his second of the night after a shot went through the body of Darcy Kuemper and the puck fell in the crease. It was an easy put-in for Ritchie. The Capitals are about to lose to one of the worst teams in the league.
Yikes the Caps lost to the Coyotes.
