San Jose Sharks

A whole bunch of things went wrong and the Capitals cant score anymore: Sharks beat Capitals 4-1

Two teams in need of standings points did battle Wednesday night as the Washington Capitals hosted the San Jose Sharks. Who would win the battle of teams that Joel Ward once played for?

Noah Gregor potted a fantastic feed from Brent Burns to give the Sharks an early lead. Nicolas Meloche scored his first career goal in the NHL to double that lead. Daniel Sprong kicked the third off with a wicked wrister to snap the shutout streak. Jonathan Dahlen squeaked one through to double the lead again. Andrew Cogliano empty netter.

Sharks beat Capitals 4-1.

Sheary scores twice and Sammy shuts the door: Caps beat Sharks 4-0

The Washington Capitals finished their suite of California games with a humble win over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night. Despite being halfway through the roadtrip, the Caps team was rested and reinforced by the returned TJ Oshie and Nic Dowd.

Conor Sheary scored just two minutes into the game, then Alex Ovechkin converted a power play later in the same frame. After a scoreless second period, Sheary got his second of the night, falling in the process. Alex Ovechkin got the empty netter as Ilya Samsonov locked it down at the other end of the ice.

Caps win!
