The Washington Capitals have lost three of four games so far on their season-long road trip. Their latest blemish came against the Calgary Flames as they fell 5-2 inside the Saddledome.
It never felt like the Caps were ever particularly in this one.

The Washington Capitals traveled to Alberta for a Saturday night Saddledome showdown with the Calgary Flames. The Caps were looking to get back into the win column after an unfortunate loss in Seattle while the Flames looked to avenge their loss in DC from about a week ago.
Blake Coleman and Conor Sheary traded late first period snipes to keep the game tied after twenty minutes. Andrew Mangiapane restored Calgary’s lead early in the second. Adam Ruzicka broke away from the pack to extend that lead in the third and Mangiapane got his second of the night just moments later.
John Carlson late, garbage time goal. Elias Lindholm empty netter.
Flames beat Capitals 5-2.

This is your place to check for updates and comment along with the Washington Capitals vs. Calgary Flames game on December 3, 2022.
Welcome to Game Four of the Capitals’ six-game road trip and another edition of RMNB After Dark. Tonight the Capitals are at the Saddledome as they take on the Calgary Flames. The Capitals recently shut out the Flames 3-0 on Black Friday.
The Capitals are going to look to do what they couldn’t do on Thursday: make Peter Laviolette smile. After taking a 2-0 lead on the Seattle Kraken, they gave up three unanswered goals, including a painful overtime game-winner in seven seconds. “There’s nothing I’m happy about tonight,” Lavy said.
The Capitals will go with Darcy Kuemper in net. He will face Dan Vladar (who has struggled against Washington in the past).
On the Calgary side, tonight marks the first night they will wear their Reverse Retro 2.0 jerseys.
Puck drop is a little after 10 pm on NBC Sports Washington. This is also a Hockey Night In Canada game.
