Back in the win column against the blueshirts: numbers for the morning after

The Washington Capitals battled their division rival New York Rangers in a back and forth contest on Wednesday night, but only one team could walk out with the victorious, full two points. That team would be your red clad Caps as they downed Hank and the bunch in the extra frame, 4-3.

The Caps out-shot the Rangers 38 to 32 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 48 to 41.

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.

More goals than the other team: Caps win 3-2

After beating the Rangers on Monday, the Caps were back home Wednesday to play … the Rangers.

Kevin Hayes gave the Rangers the lead about 14 minutes into the game. In the final minutes of the first, Brooks Orpik caused a turnover in the neutral zone that resulted in an Andre Burakovsky goal after a nice feed from TJ Oshie.

Goals RSVP’d as a no for the second period. Actually, they probably replied as “interested” on Facebook.

Ryan Spooner put the Rangers on top 2-1 about halfway through the third period. Lars Eller, the extra attacker, tied the game up with 1:05 remaining.

Evgeny Kuznetsov buried one during three-on-three.

Caps win 3-2!

One period wonder: numbers for the morning after

The Washington Capitals put their game with the New York Rangers to bed after the first twenty minutes, netting four goals on fifteen shots and chasing young Alexandar Georgiev from his net.

The Caps out-shot the Rangers 33 to 30, but were out-attempted by the blueshirts at five-on-five 51 to 36.
