No let down game here!

The Washington Capitals annihilated the digital Detroit Red Wings 6-1 at virtual Little Caesar’s Arena, Saturday. The Capitals have won every game they’ve played (3-0) since moving to video-game mode. The simulation game aired on NBC Sports Washington instead of the Capitals’ postponed real-life game against the Red Wings due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Carl Hagelin scored twice early in the first period. Nicklas Backstrom, TJ Oshie, and Ilya Kovalchuk added quick goals in the second period to turn it into a rout.

The game also featured some big hits, teleportation, and cameos by humans, Garnet Hathaway and Nic Dowd.

Downing Detroit: Caps beat Red Wings 5-2

Detroit, Michigan was the scene of a battle between a Cup contender vs potential lottery winner. The former in the Washington Capitals were expected to take this win from the outset, and they ended up doing just that.

Robby Fabbri got us underway with a power-play slam dunk. TJ Oshie did exactly the same to kick the second frame off. Alex Ovechkin circled the cage and beat Jonathan Bernier short-side to give the Caps a lead. Tom Wilson’s tenth of the season extended said lead. and Luke Glendening only nine seconds later put a damper on that.

Ovechkin got an empty netter and then another for the hat trick.

Just wing it: Caps beat Red Wings 3-2

The Caps ended their three game road swing with a trip to Detroit, hoping to gain at least one win to start 2019 and #CapricornSzn right. Here’s how it all went down.

After a scramble in front of Jimmy Howard, #TopLineTom cashed in on a rebound off a deft Evgeny Kuznetsov pass. Anthony Mantha and his gargantuan reach stole the puck from Jakub Vrana and slid the puck around Braden Holtby to tie it. In a sluggish start to the second, a plodding back check from the Caps led to a Filip Hronek tip in from Dylan Larkin’s cross-ice feed. The Caps didn’t convert on a power play to start the third, but Travis Boyd was able to to pull the Caps even with just over ten minutes left. With the game going full slog, Michal Kempny but the good guys up with a floater from the point. TJ Oshie went to the box for slashing to make things interesting in the dying minutes, but the Wings couldn’t convert.

Caps WIN 3-2!
