Washington Capitals edge Detroit Red Wings in a wild shootout thanks to Nic Dowd’s undeniable heroics. Will Dowd’s heart and hustle ignite a late-season turnaround, or are deeper questions about Washington’s future looming?
DAN HOLMI spotlights Dowd’s game-changing presence, from timely goals to physical leadership, giving the Caps a desperately needed win. The episode explores the pressing goalie concerns as Logan Thompson’s injury status threatens stability between the pipes, and examines why Artemi Panarin’s rumored trade to Washington is quickly losing steam. With key matchups ahead and playoff hopes hanging in the balance, the spotlight is on whether the Capitals have what it takes to rally—or if more drastic changes are on the horizon.
Get ready for a candid, high-energy breakdown of Washington’s pivotal moment.

Win streak now is needed.
Waiting for bad pens collapse and isles losing and 8 pts vs flyers in the four games all remaining. Caps in this, but everyone else won as well so this was actually a MUST WIN and they did.
It’s a miracle we actually won a game, now the real question is can we win our first back-2-back games since November 3rd?
While I'm glad for the 2 points giving up TWO 6on5 goals is unacceptable
Jordan Kyrou would be a solid pick up for us!
Good morning, Dan! Whew, they were able to gut out a win there. I guess my expectations about this team will have to be lowered after they raised the bar so much last season. this is who they are. I just want to see them be competitive, to give effort. Play with some urgency and anger. Yes, some controlled anger cuz they know they should be better. What happened to the chip on their shoulders when all the haters and critics said they were a fluke last season? go out and get some frustration out, boys! DO NOT quit and slink away like whipped dogs……Caps don't need Panarin, need tougher, grittier players. Get some more power forward types.
I still believe, if it wasn't for BOTH LT and Charlie, we would be far worse in the standings. Both of them have kept us in the game. The rest of the team have to step up NOW
