"The Capitals are in a tailspin and are falling further out of the playoff picture. Tonight, they arrive in Vancouver, and hopefully the experience gives them a shot in the arm. Tom Wilson is back and Vancouver is awful, like really, really bad. They've lost 33 of their 49 games and have the fewest standings points in the league. They've lost 11 straight games, including the last 8 in regulation."
"Ryan Leonard, the birthday boy, with a huge shot from the top of the left circle 1:39 in, but Lankinen makes the save. Canucks with some heavy pressure for about 30 seconds in the offensive zone. Thompson falls down but still makes a glove save on a backhand shot from the slot. Per Joe B, Thompson has received 35 of the first 50 starts of the year for the Capitals."
Washington Capitals enter the game in a tailspin and are falling further out of the playoff picture. The Capitals travel to Vancouver where Tom Wilson returns to the lineup. Vancouver has lost 33 of their 49 games, has the fewest standings points in the league, and has dropped 11 straight games including eight in regulation. Logan Thompson starts in net for Washington and Kevin Lankinen starts for Vancouver. The puck drop is scheduled a little after 10 pm on Monumental Sports Network with Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin on the call. Early game action included heavy Canucks pressure, multiple saves by Lankinen and Thompson, and a Capitals power play goal finished by Strome.
