The Washington Capitals will take your Californian back-to-back and leave with all the points. Two regulation wins in a row for the good guys, this time a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings.
The Kings out-shot the Caps 23 to 22, but were out-attempted at five-on-five 41 to 34.

The Caps next stop on their Californian adventure was Los Angeles to take on the Kings. The Kings should still be wearing purple of some sort and the fact that they don’t is a travesty. The league needs more purple.
John Carlson stayed aflame, potting two in the first to give the Caps a lead. Blake Lizotte stuffed one home to bring the Kings into the fray. Tom Wilson empty netter.
Caps beat Kings 3-1!

Alex Ovechkin is becoming more and more like that crazy shop teacher you had in middle school.
During the second period, Ovechkin pulled a blow torch out of nowhere and started fixing his wonky helmet on the bench.
The Washington Capitals are a close bunch and sometimes that means getting extra close is just a part of the job description.
Tuesday, during the Capitals-Shark game, NBC Sports Washington captured a priceless interaction between TJ Oshie and Jakub Vrana. In included a side hug, cuddling, and a head nuzzle. It was almost if mama deer (TJ) was comforting one of its young (Baby V).
The Capitals are facing off against the LA Kings for the second game of their California road trip.
Puck drop is at 10:00 PM, so a whole half hour earlier than last night! Woo hoo! Here is your injury report.

Nike made Alex Ovechkin a personal logo shortly after the hockey star signed an endorsement deal with the company eight years ago. Since then, the company has sporadically sold gear with the logo on it. Shirts, hoodies, and hats were available in limited quantities at the Capitals Team Store, Verizon Center, and the Capitals Convention in 2013. Fanatics also sold Nike MVP shirts after the Capitals won the Stanley Cup in 2018 – some of which were made available at local DMV ice rinks. Wednesday, eight individual items featuring Alex Ovechkin’s Nike logo were made available on a website operated by Athlete Performance Solutions, a global licensee of Nike.
The Washington Post’s Scott Allen was the first to post about the opening of the new Ovechkin store. Allen reports that the Capitals captain was involved in the design process and the gear is available to fans in the United States, Canada, and Russia.

The Washington Capitals beat the San Jose Sharks 5-2 at the Shark Tank on Tuesday and it got chippy and chirpy.
Evander Kane was ejected for a high hit on Radko Gudas late in the game, knocking the Capitals defenseman woozy and out of the game.
At the teams’ two benches, Joe Thornton and Tom Wilson had a conversation that was, thankfully for all of us, caught on a hot mic.
The NHL Department of Player Safety has fined Evander Kane $5,000 for elbowing Radko Gudas.
Point of order: Evander Kane did not actually elbow Radko Gudas.
