The Washington Capitals showcased their resilience in a thrilling 3-2 overtime victory against the New York Rangers, marking their league-leading 20th comeback win of the season. Alex Ovechkin had a standout performance, scoring his 32nd goal of the season and inching closer to Wayne Gretzky’s legendary goal record with 885 total. Despite facing a tough start and trailing in the third period, the Capitals rallied thanks to Ovechkin’s power play effort and Tom Wilson’s clutch overtime goal, highlighting their offensive prowess as Ovechkin ties for fourth in the league with his goals. Off the ice, the Caps maintain a light-hearted atmosphere filled with pranks and camaraderie, as shared by players Logan Thompson and Aliaksei Protas. The playful antics often spotlight teammates, like Thompson, who finds himself both the target and instigator of jokes. Notably, Tom Wilson and Brandon Duhaime have gained reputations as the team’s pranksters, fostering goodwill and bonding among teammates. This fun dynamic not only enhances team morale but also reflects the positive culture established by veteran players like Ovechkin and Wilson, ultimately contributing to the team’s performance on the ice.

Poetic win
Good morning Dan & Caps fans! What a great win that was.. I’m super excited for tonight’s game! Gr8Chase!! 🦅
Having pranksters at work is fun. I remember it being that way when I was in the Navy many years ago. We did things like making the bottles with rubbing alcohol to clean the heads of the (very old) computers into flame throwers. There was a person who chased people with the fire extinguisher. A bunch of other pranks too.
As to the last 2 wins, sometimes after a bad streak any kind of a win is welcome, whether it's ugly or whatever. Then the team fine tunes it and the wins become where they're controlling the play more and everyone's involved.
LETS GO CAPS!!
WHEW What a game! ….caps are gonna give me a stroke I swear! 😅😅❤️💙❤️💙 Thanks Dan!
If I were a caps fan I wouldn’t them facing the Rangers in the first round. It will be very tough to beat the rangers. Y’all better pray they get the red wings or senators
Another gritty win for the team. Rangers caught a few breaks, like the interference just before the second goal but the Caps stayed the course and ground the Rangers down. Lindgren was again quite solid. Protas seems to be a little scrambled out there lately but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Strome has such great patience on 2 on 1’s. Great OT win.
