The Washington Capitals dropped their fixture against the Edmonton Oilers last night in rather disappointing fashion. They will be able to rectify that disappointment immediately as they take on the Vancouver Canucks only a night later.
Puck drop is at 10 PM and I will have your late night recap again. Oh and the Nats are playing at home in the World Series.

On Monday night, another one of the last remaining major restricted free agents signed.
The Vancouver Canucks announced they re-signed Brock Boeser to a three-year contract extension worth $5.875 million annually.
Last season, the 22-year old forward played 69 games (nice) and tallied 56 points (26 goals and 30 assists) for the season. Boeser will begin his fourth season in the NHL this year.

The NHL recently came out with a promotion campaign for NHL TV promising “no soap operas, just hockey.” Saturday, the Vancouver Canucks got in the Soap Opera Business.
Nearly three hours after the Oakland Raiders released the controversial Antonio Brown, the Canucks extended a Training Camp offer — albeit jokingly — to the star wide receiver.
Every year, the same thing happens no matter what venue the NHL Draft is held at.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman walks out on stage to give a speech and officially begin the event. Fans boo him loudly.
But this year, Bettman came prepared with a plan to try and get the Vancouver Canucks crowd on his side. It worked… but not for the reason he planned.

The Vancouver Canucks are turning back the clock to the 90s next season.
On Thursday, the team announced that their popular Black Skate jerseys would be worn three times during the 2019-20 season to celebrate their 50th anniversary as a franchise. It will not be brought back after next season – so enjoy it while it lasts!
On the return of the Beags to DC, the Caps were triumphant over his Vancouver Canucks team 3-2 and gained some needed ground in the NHL’s Metropolitan Division by doing so. Time to string some wins together, boys.
The Canucks out-shot the Caps 32 to 31, but were out-attempted at five-on-five 45 to 43.

The Caps handled the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night, recording a badly needed win and welcoming home a beloved fan fave.
TJ Oshie forced a turnover then scored on a rebound to open scoring in the first period. The second went scoreless, which is the word we use when no one scores even if the game has a score, which obviously it did, it was 1-0 Caps. Brett Connolly crashed the net in the third period to get his first goal in 13 games, but Markus Granlund replied by catching a nice pass from Antoine Roussel to get the Canucks on the board a couple minutes later. Jakub Vrana put the Nucks back in their two-goal hole with a weird, weird goal. Elias Pettersson got a goal with the Nucks net empty, but it was over.
Caps win 3-2!

Jay Beagle had this day circled on his calendar. February 5 marked his first return to Washington, DC since signing as a free agent with the Vancouver Canucks over the summer.
To honor his return, the Capitals aired a tribute video on the jumbotron.
There wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
