Meet the five puppies working for NHL teams

There’s a new trend in the NHL. A year after the Winnipeg Jets hired a new security puppy, five different NHL teams have brought in adorable pups of their own this season. It’s almost as if the NHL is realizing puppies + hockey players = viral content.

This season, the St. Louis Blues, Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators, and New York Islanders are all training their own puppies to do better deeds in life. These cute dogs will go on to become service dogs, ranging from seeing-eye dogs to dogs that help with motor impairments and Autism.

There really is not much is better than a dog with a job, so let’s acquaint ourselves with these five new fantastic hockey doggos.

Caps beat Rangers 5-3 for fifth straight win, first place in Metro

The Washington Capitals’ mentors trip kicked off at Madison Square Garden on Saturday afternoon. Playing an equally unrested New York Rangers team with big Metro Division standings implications, the Caps had to dig deep to secure their fifth win in a row. So that’s what they did.

The Rangers scored the lone goal of the first period, with Jimmy Vesey finishing off a tic-tac-toe after getting sprung from the penalty box.

The second period began poorly as Brady Skjei did that hockey so quickly that we hardly saw the puck go in. The Caps took over after that – first with Nic Dowd deflecting John Carlson’s shot, then a full-steam breakaway from Jakub Vrana to tie the score. Finally, Alex Ovechkin capped off a good forecheck with a point-blank goal to put the Caps up one goal in the final minute of the second period.

In the third, Ryan Strome wrapped around Copley’s net to even the score 3-3. Brett Connolly took a great east-west pass from John Carlson and turned into absolute fire to reestablish the Washington lead with six minutes left. Tom Wilson added an empty-netter just to piss off every other team.

Caps win 5-3!

Caps at Rangers pregame: Go for five

With a four-game active win streak in tow, the Capitals left Washington last night and headed up to New York for a Saturday matinee with the Rangers. In spite of all reason and the explicit will of god, the Rangers are somehow competing for the top spot in the Metro. They’re just one point behind the Caps, who are one point behind the Blue Jackets. So, somehow, this late-November day game with zero rest will have a massive impact on the standings.

Let’s go for five together at 2 PM. Put your TV on NBCSWA or follow along with the stream from your T-Mobile Sidekick. My name is Peter and I’m here for all your game coverage needs.

Ovi! Ovi! Caps beat Rangers 4-3 (OT)

After another long break, the Caps returned to action on Wednesday by hosting the rebuilding New York Rangers. A surprisingly uneven performance from the home team gave the Rangers every opportunity to stay in the game, turning what should have been two easy points into an overtime nail-biter.

The Rangers scored first, with Mika Zibanejad cleaning up a tasty rebound from Neal Pionk. The Caps responded with John Carlson’s monster slapshot during a power play, tying the score after twenty minutes. The second period was a bit sloppy, but Ovechkin opened up scoring with an Ovi Shot from the Spot. Jim Vesey got a lucky bounce off Devante Smith-Pelly to score a power-play goal of his own, which I guess was infuriating to Ovechkin, so he got another one before the period was up. Chris Kreider restored the tie with a tip-in in the third, which pushed us out of rego and into overtime, where Matt Niskanen cleaned up a rebound to end it.

Caps win 4-3 in overtime!

Caps vs Rangers pregame: Walkin’ on air

The Capitals remain at home while they host the New York Rangers for a Wednesday night showdown. The Rangers won last night in overtime against the Colorado Avalanche after a winning goal from some guy named Kevin Shattenkirk? At any rate, you can probably expect the Rangers to look a little sleepy.

In terms of the Capitals’ lineup news…oh boy, oh boy. Or should I say “Oi boy, oi boy” because our Aussie Angel Nathan Walker is back in the lineup tonight. Walker was previously replaced by recently signed Dimitrij Jaskin.

Your recap will be delivered promptly after the game by Mr. Peter Hassett. Game coverage is on NBCS Washington will be kicking off at 6 PM, and you can stream it all online. Even the game, so if you’re out and you want to watch the game instead, don’t be ashamed to run away to the bathroom and watch the stream. No judgement zone here, I’ve been there.
