"The Capitals raced out to a 2-0 lead with power-play goals from Dylan Strome and Justin Sourdif. The Canucks responded with two in a row of their own from Brock Boeser and Evander Kane to tie the game. Drew O'Connor turned the score all the way around with a goal in the second period, and Filip Hronek extended Vancouver's lead. Strome potted one late to make it close, but no cigar."
"Rasmus Sandin has been directly at fault for some brutal goals lately. That didn't change early in this one as he handed Brock Boeser a goal to get the Canucks on the board. To be fair to him, there isn't a single defender on the roster that I can point to as playing well in their own end right now."
"Not sure what else to write about the second period. I guess, more of the same? Again, zero urgency from the Capitals. Again, terrible decisions by defenders. Again, probably not good enough from Logan Thompson. Again, no even strength production from the top guys. Four unanswered goals from a team that has lost 11 games in a row coming into tonight."
The Vancouver Canucks defeated the Washington Capitals 4-3 after rallying from a 2-0 deficit. Washington opened with two first-period power-play goals by Dylan Strome and Justin Sourdif. Vancouver tied the game through Brock Boeser and Evander Kane, then took the lead on goals by Drew O'Connor and Filip Hronek in the second period. Washington added a late goal from Strome but could not complete a comeback. Washington showed poor five-on-five play, defensive breakdowns, limited even-strength production from top players, and a goaltender who allowed more goals than expected.
