NBC Sports Washington trained an overhead camera on the Washington Capitals while they were in the tunnel readying for warmups in Winnipeg, Thursday.
And it’s… a lot.
The Capitals, who are known for already having an exorbitant amount of pregame rituals and superstitions, now have even more with the addition of Brenden Dillon.
The Washington Capitals dropped the second half of their home and away “series” against the Winnipeg Jets by a score of 3-0. It’s only the second time the Caps have been shutout this season.
The Caps out-shot the Jets 34 to 32 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 52 to 48.

The Washington Capitals put forth an unremarkable effort in their road loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday.
Dmitri Kulikov scored the 35th goal of his 11-year career in the first period, a slapshot from the point that Ilya Samsonov couldn’t see. After a scoreless second period, Kyle Connor snapped a shot from the slot to make it 2-0 in the third. Sheifele got an empty-netter, and then it was over.
Caps lose. Shutout.

Alex Ovechkin got in on the latest pregame warmup craze Thursday night in Winnipeg.
One Caps fan north of the border made a sign that read OVI, ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS FOR A STICK. It also included the numbers 24 and 8, a tribute to Kobe Bryant.
Ovechkin obliged.
Tonight the Caps wrap up a rare home-and-home series with the Jets as Alex Ovechkin chases his milestone 702nd goal.

The Washington Capitals have hit the road and first stopped in Winnipeg to play the Jets again. Hopefully this time the Capitals can hold on to the lead and get the two points during regulation. I know this isn’t about me, but I just started a new job on Monday and I am exhausted, so I would appreciate a winning end on the earlier side.
Puck drop is at 8 PM and Julia will meet you back here for the recap!
