The Washington Capitals beat all up on the Chicago Blackhawks with ease on Thursday night. The team got one of their leaders back in John Carlson and responded by thumping the lowly Western Conference squad.
Touchdown.

The Washington Capitals positively washed the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night.
Chicago goalie Anton Khudobin served Conor Sheary a free goal to start us off, then Anthony Mantha pounced on a loose puck in the slot, making it 2-0 after one period.
Nic Dowd scored his 13th of the season in the second period, and Nicklas Backstrom piled on with a power-play freebie in front of the Chicago net.
John Carlson scored during a power play early in the third period, but then Nikita Zaitsev got a screened shot past Darcy Kuemper to end the shutout. Alex Ovechkin scored an unassisted breakaway goal in the final five minutes.
Caps win 6-1!

This is your place to check for updates and comment along with the Washington Capitals vs. Chicago Blackhawks game on March 23, 2023.
The Washington Capitals are back in action after (embarrassingly) falling to the Columbus Blue Jackets 7-6 (and making my son cry all the way back to the metro).
The Caps will get John Carlson back in the lineup for the first time since December 23 – though it’s debatable if that’s a good thing for the team in the moment.
Tonight’s game is on NBC Sports Washington. Puck drop is a little after 7 pm. It’s Women In Hockey Night.
