The latest episode of Locked On Capitals covers the team’s recent 5-4 overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators, highlighting the fatigue the players experienced after a long road trip. Captain Alex Ovechkin shone with a goal and two assists, moving closer to a historic milestone in NHL points. Dylan Strome also contributed significantly with two goals, while Tom Wilson achieved his 200th career assist. Despite a thrilling third-period comeback, the Capitals couldn’t secure the win, culminating in a heart-wrenching overtime defeat after Thomas Chabot scored the game-winner. Additionally, as the 2025 NHL trade deadline approaches, the Capitals are exploring options to enhance their roster, particularly looking for a top-nine winger. With around $3.65 million in cap space, potential trade targets include players like Yanni Gourde and Brock Nelson. There’s also speculation around a possible contract extension for goaltender Charlie Lindgren, who has been a valuable presence in the locker room and on the ice. The Capitals are navigating their goaltending strategy carefully, which could impact younger players as they plan for the future.

I think we’re in a good spot defensively, with Mcllrath and Alexeyev ready to step in…I wouldn’t mind seeing the Caps get a forward, preferably one who fits into their long term plans..a rental with some potential to be a game changer? I’d take it if we don’t sell a major part of the future..
Raddish is a failed experiment.
Let Vrana of Miro take his spot.
Plus that loss was on the 1st unit on PP.
Charlie deserved better in front of him.
STILL GOT A POINT THOUGH. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
That game last night looked like the Caps suited up the local beer league and put them on the ice to see if we'd notice. There was a point where you could literally see the frustration on Charlie's face.
Last game of a road trip that got them 7 out of 10 points. The Sens are a young hungry team that we only beat in overtime last time. I thought Duhaime played an amazing energetic game. Charlie played well just couldn’t bail the guys out of their massive mistakes. Also nice to see Protas get a little emotional too. These are proud guys that don’t like to lose. I didn’t stat checking and the Caps have only trailed by three goals for 50 some odd minutes. That’s a testament to how gritty these guys are.
Shane Pinto and Josh Norris were incredible this game for Ottawa, which is probably why they were able to succeed in drawing all 3 Caps players to them in OT, Shane Pinto wrestling the puck and backhanding it to Chabot was a feat in itself. I genuinely think the Caps players thought they could get the puck by force there.
Not understanding why Carberry has Vrana buried under Raddysh, the production disparity definitely passes the eye test for me
That was a great 3rd period. I’m sure hearts are heavy right now 😢
Great show! Capitals are awesome, tough spot for them last night on the last game of a long road trip. See ya again in March 👊🏻
