"The last time the Caps were in LA, they had what was probably one of their worst performances of the 2024-25 campaign in a 3-0 loss. Returning to the scene of the crime tonight, the Caps seemed determined to put memories of that last trip out west behind them and instead put together an almost identical game to the last time these two tangled back in DC a few weeks ago."
"Plus: We should probably check outside and see if there are any pigs flying through the air because the Caps' power play looked...good? AND scored? Just a great play all around on the opening tally but especially from Ryan Leonard, who made a great pass through the crease to find a wide-open Tom Wilson. As for Wilson, well, the dude just can't stop putting up points."
"Caps Player of the Game: Another very strong game for Logan Thompson, but we'll give this to Tom Wilson, who just continues to be an absolute menace in the best possible way. Quite the run for the big man."
The Capitals recovered from a prior 3-0 loss in Los Angeles by matching the Kings' defensive approach and securing a stout road win. The team displayed tight defensive play and opportunistic scoring that mirrored a recent meeting in Washington. The power play produced an impressive opener when Ryan Leonard threaded a pass through the crease to a wide-open Tom Wilson, who scored. The Capitals dominated the first period and led 1-0, but they relaxed in the second, allowing the Kings to gain momentum and tie the game. Logan Thompson posted another strong outing in goal. Tom Wilson earned Player of the Game honors with continued scoring.
