The Washington Capitals, in the first game of their Californian road trip laid an egg against the Anaheim waterfowl, falling 4-0. If this is any indication of how this western swing is going to go, us fans are in for a long week.
The Caps out-shot the Ducks 36 to 18 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 64 to 44.

The Capitals kicked off their west-coast road trip with an absolute clunker against the Anaheim Ducks.
Adam Henrique got an early power-play goal, then Hampus Lindholm piled on with a nifty goal. In the second period, Rickard Rakell snuck one past Holtby to make it 3-0 and chase the Caps netminder.
The Ducks took their palmate off the gas in the third, but the Caps comeback effort yielded no goals. Nick Ritchie got a empty-netter in garbage time.
Ducks beat Caps 4-0.

Alex Ovechkin is 2,600 miles away from his beloved black lab Blake, but for a brief moment before Tuesday’s game he got the puppy love he needed. The Russian machine ran into a very good doggo before warmups and look how happy he is.
(I’m talking about Alex, not the dog.)
Your Washington Capitals have headed west to the Golden State, otherwise known as the land of Brooks Laich, for three games against Californian opponents. The first of those three opponents is the Anaheim Ducks who currently sit third in the Western Conference’s Pacific Division, but are in no way in the clear to make the playoffs so gaining every possible point is paramount.
Oh, and some guy is very close to a big ole milestone.
It’s a late, late, late one. 10 PM start on both NBCSWA and NBCSN. Peter will have your #RMNBAfterDark recap.
