SaucyJack Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 At -17 at the all-star break, you get one guess who has the worst +/- on the Capitals this season. I’ll make it slightly easier: 2nd and 3rd worst at -12 and -11 are Tom Wilson and Evgeny Kuznetsov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaucyJack Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Perhaps a thread for Ivan Miroshnichenko also needs establishing? (First post with a big 1 on it.) Pass the baton, Caps fans hope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yave1964 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 50 minutes ago, NHL HHOF said: 841 I always check f Ovie scores. Rooting hard for him. So let's say he scores six more, 25 for the year and 847. That leaves him 48 short. If he scores 30 next year he is looking at mid)late in 25-26. If they manage a real dish setter in centre I believe he can still bounce back. Rooting for him.

Brewin Flames Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Ovechkin becomes 3rd in NHL history with at least 20 goals in 19 straight seasons; Caps beat Flames 1 of 8 | Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin (8) celebrates his goal during the second period of an NHL hockey game against the Calgary Flames in Calgary, Alberta, Monday, March 18, 2024. (Jeff McIntosh/The Canadian Press via AP) Read More Updated 1:26 AM EDT, March 19, 2024 Share CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Alex Ovechkin scored twice and became the third player in NHL history to have at least 20 goals in 19 consecutive seasons as the Washington Capitals beat the Calgary Flames 5-2 on Monday night. The 38-year-old Ovechkin had two power-play goals in the second period as Washington won its third straight game. He joined Gordie Howe (22) and Brendan Shanahan (19) as the only players to achieve the goal-scoring feat. “Consistency. Not just from the scoring part but also him being in the lineup and being durable and him being able to play game after game after game all these years,” Washington coach Spencer Carbery said of Ovechkin. “We needed every single bit of those two goals tonight to get us in front and to be able to play from in front because you could tell early on we had zero legs and mentally some of the puck decisions, plays, it was uncharacteristic.” ADVERTISEMENT Dylan Strome, Hendrix Lapierre and Tom Wilson also scored for Washington (33-25-9), which moved into the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, one point ahead of idle Detroit. It’s the first time the Capitals have occupied a playoff spot since Jan. 2. READ MORE Ovechkin became the third player in NHL history to have at least 20 goals in 19 consecutive seasons. Skinner nets hat trick, Sabres chase Daccord with early barrage in 6-2 win over Kraken Panthers defenseman Dmitry Kulikov has been suspended by the NHL for 2 games for an illegal check “We know it’s not going to be easy. We keep fighting, keep playing,” said Ovechkin. “We still can do it. We’re still in the battle. Every point counts.” Kevin Rooney and MacKenzie Weegar scored for Calgary (33-30-5). The Flames finished 2-2-0 in a four-game homestand. Washington goalie Charlie Lindgren had 34 saves and improved to 18-11-5. He has won five of his last six games with a .956 save percentage. Calgary rookie Dustin Wolf allowed four goals on 32 shots in his third straight start and saw his record dip to 3-4-1. Wolf had allowed three goals on 67 shots in winning his last two games. Ovechkin’s 20th goal of the season made it 2-0 at 5:58 of the second period. Ovechkin went to the net where he neatly deflected a hard centring pass from Max Pacioretty into the top corner. After pumping his arms in celebration, Ovechkin immediately looked over at Pacioretty and pointed, acknowledging the terrific pass. Just over three minutes later, Washington’s power play struck again. Ovechkin set up at the top of the faceoff circle, stick cocked. When John Carlson slid a pass across, Ovechkin leaned into a slap shot that beat Wolf inside the near post. “That’s a hell of a hockey player over there. He had a couple of good chances. But it’s pretty cool to say you stopped a few,” Wolf said. Ovechkin has 12 goals in 20 games since the All-Star break after scoring just nine times in 44 games before that. He raised his career goal total to 843, second to — and 51 behind — Wayne Gretzky. “We’re all cheering for him,” Lapierre said. “It was two really big goals tonight, too. We’re just super happy for him and we’re just trying to help him in this chase. He’s looking pretty damn good. He was the spark we needed tonight.” The Capitals have been helped in their playoff chase by a rejuvenated power play. On Jan. 18, Washington had the league’s third-worst power play at 13.3%. Over the last two months, including going 2 for 3 against Calgary, the Capitals have the league’s third-best power play at 29.1%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
