The Washington Capitals achieved an impressive 6-3 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, marking their ninth win in the last ten games and improving their season record to 47-15-8 with a total of 102 points. The game showcased the Capitals’ home-ice dominance, as they have now won six straight games at Capital One Arena, outscoring opponents 26-14 during this stretch. The first period was filled with excitement, featuring multiple lead changes, and key contributions from players like Connor McMichael, John Carlson, and Alex Ovechkin. In the second period, the Capitals took control early, with goals from Tom Wilson and Dylan Strome, who celebrated his 200th point with the team. The defense was also notable, killing off all three power-play chances from the Panthers and bolstering a stellar penalty kill rate. With strong offensive outings from players like Aliaksei Protas and Anthony Beauvillier, combined with a solid performance from goaltender Logan Thompson, the Capitals continue to build momentum as they prepare for their upcoming games.

May have been an overpayment but boy has Beauvillier been a Livewire!
When will Ryan Leonard join the team?
In Saint Patrick we trust 🫶🏻
Great move to bring ”Beau” in
Nice hat dan
I was listening to the first period in my car. One moment it was like YES! pumping my fists while drivers around probably wondered what the heck was going on. Then it was NO! Glad LT bounced back and played well the last 2 periods.
As to a stoppage when Ovi sets the record, I'm mixed on it. One thing though, it should be 8 minutes, not 7. I also hope that Nicky is in the building when it happens. He totally deserves to be!! Sometime in the future at Capital One Arena, they should have a double jersey retirement, 8 & 19.
Great show as always!!! I appreciate you very much, I hope you have a great week! Go Caps!! 🦅
One thing about the win over Florida. Bobrovsky wasn't in net.
