The Caps next stop on their Californian adventure was Los Angeles to take on the Kings. The Kings should still be wearing purple of some sort and the fact that they don’t is a travesty. The league needs more purple.
John Carlson stayed aflame, potting two in the first to give the Caps a lead. Blake Lizotte stuffed one home to bring the Kings into the fray. Tom Wilson empty netter.
Caps beat Kings 3-1!

Like Tom Wilson, the Washington Capitals Twitter account has a long memory. And early Thursday morning, the Caps Twitter clapped back at the Los Angeles Kings in epic fashion.
Let me explain.
The Washington Nationals lost Game Three of the NLDS to the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-4 on Sunday. The Nationals led 2-1 until the Dodgers exploded for a seven-run sixth inning and batted around, giving the Dodgers an 8-2 lead.
When I started planning my arena visits for the 2018-19 season, the Southern California swing immediately stood out to me. It was a bigger bonus that the games took place over the President’s Day holiday weekend. I convinced my friend, who had been to only two hockey games in her life, to let me come visit and drag her to back-to-back [chants slowly] games. Jenna is the real MVP and I made her a hockey fan by the end of the visit.
After the long flight and countless flight delays, I found myself in a sunny, but cool, Los Angeles. Let’s recap my visits to both Honda Center and Staples Center.

TSN’s Bob McKenzie tweeted that the Caps could have a deal in the works with the Los Angeles Kings for a depth forward, but needed to clear cap space to make it happen.
McKenzie’s tweets come on the heels of RMNB’s Ian Oland reporting that the Capitals are moving DSP off the roster to complete a trade.

The Washington Capitals were in Los Angeles at Staples Center tonight to match up with the Kings in what needed to be a bounce back performance for a Caps team that got steamrolled a night before in Anaheim. Were they able to come up with the much needed two points?
Alex Ovechkin got things started in the right direction, firing home from his office on the power play and Brett Connolly drifted through the slot with a tip-in to give the Caps a 2-0 lead after twenty minutes. Ovi did that thing again on the power play to extend the lead further.
Alex Iafallo got one back for the Kings. Ilya Kovalchuk added another.
