Happy Thanksgiving! We are all thankful today that the Caps secured a 4-3 victory over the Florida Panthers. Get ready to eat, y’all. This will be a brief one.
The Panthers out-shot the Caps 40 to 20 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 50 to 38.

The Washington Capitals beat the Florida Panthers, and that’s fine, but you’re here to see children dressed up like turkeys and skating around like turkeys with their heads cut off, except cuter.
That’s precisely what happened during Tuesday’s intermission as the Caps brought back their beloved Thanksgiving tradition of trying and failing to get adolescents to feel embarrassed. They can’t. They’re immune. Gobble gobble.

The Washington Capitals hosted Brett Connolly back home for the first time since the forward signed with the Florida Panthers over the offseason. Conno was mean and scored against the Caps.
After a bunch of early penalties, the Capitals got on the board first via a fancy Alex Ovechkin goal. Conno tied it the next period, beating Braden Holtby on a breakaway. Richard Panik, who was probably offside, lobbed a shot past Sergei Bobrovsky in the final minute of the second period, but the Capitals let the Panthers tie it 22 seconds later. In the third, Lars Eller potted a Jakub Vrana rebound, and Brendan Leipsic scored on a breakaway. Vincent Trochek got the Panthers within one, but that’s all she wrote.
Caps beat Panthers 4-3.
Former Capitals forward Brett Connolly was back at Capital One Arena for the first time on Wednesday since signing as a free agent with the Florida Panthers on July 1.
As has become tradition, the Capitals aired a heartwarming tribute video for Connolly during the first TV timeout of the game.

The Capitals are home for the Thanksgiving Eve and are hosting the Florida Panthers. They will be without Nicklas Backstrom, but some good news is that Nic Dowd is back in the lineup after missing five games due to a hand injury.
Puck drop is at 7PM. I will be attending my first game of the season and I’m thrilled about it. Consider yourselves lucky as heck, Ian Oland will be providing you with one of his rare recap. It’s truly the season of giving!

The Capitals tried their darndest to find their second loss in their last ten games, but a couple star players willed them over the line to an overtime victory. The Caps short jaunt down south saw them pick up a 5-4 win against the Panthers and they will now return home for a couple against western foes.
The Panthers out-shot the Caps 36 to 31 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 46 to 38.

The Caps have been on a five-game winning streak. The Panthers have put together a mini-streak of their own with two straight dubs. The sun had to set on one team in Sunrise tonight. Let’s get into it.
Thomas Jefferson Oshie John Carlson scored 25 seconds into the game off a bouncing puck that looked like it hit everyone on its way past Sergei Bobrovsky. Frank Vatrano answered right back because why not, we love a breakneck first few minutes. Then the Caps cooled down. After some prolonged zone-time, Brett Connolly gave Florida the lead off a deflected Anton Stralman shot because of course he did. Sasha Barkov slapped the bejeezus out of a one-timer to start the second, but the Caps got a gift on the power-play thanks to Alex Ovechkin. Ovi got his second off a funky deflection in front, and then the Caps got two more penalties and Evgenii Dadonov gave Florida the lead back. Tom Wilson provided a fly-by deflection to tie it again, we got overtime, and Willy put the team on his back to get the game-winner.
CAPS WIN 5-4 IN OT!
