The Washington Capitals are back home and finally ready to play some hockey in the District…of Champions. This will be the first major DC sporting event played after the Washington Nationals captured their first World Series title. Expect a lively arena.
Puck drop is at 7PM tonight and Peter graciously took the recap for me so I could attend this one in person.

The Caps have at last arrived at the end of their seemingly never ending road trip. It feels like the boys could be eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship they’ve been up there for so long. The final game of said trip came against the youthful Toronto Maple Leafs.
Andreas Johnsson got those Leafs on the board only forty seconds into the first period. John Carlson continued his October tear and tied the game at one and then gave the Caps a lead. Auston Matthews and his gross mustache tipped one home late in the second and slotted one home early in the third. Alex Ovechkin’s tenth of the year restored the tie.
Ovechkin overtime winner.
Caps beat Maple Leafs 4-3!

The Washington Capitals wanted to quickly put their late collapse against the Oilers in the rear view and had an opportunity on Friday night to do so against the Vancouver Canucks. Also go Nats!
Evgeny Kuznetsov was the benefactor of some Canucks scrambling to kick things off. Brock Boeser grabbed the goal back soon after and Tim Schaller slotted another home shorthanded. Elias Pettersson sniped one home to give Vancouver a two goal lead, Schaller got his second out of mid air, and Virtanen made it five for the Nucks.
Kuznetsov put away a buzzer beater, Lars Eller got his own shortie to bring the Caps even closer, and Michal Kempny blasted two home soon after to tie things up.
Shootout bullets!
