The Capitals have recorded just 43 total shots through the first two games of the preseason. While these games obviously do not count, it's still something to note, as Washington's problems generating shots from last season don't appear to have gone anywhere just yet. They finished 30th in the NHL in shots per game last year (26.5).
Spencer Carbery has had Martin Fehervary and Matt Roy paired throughout camp thus far, and the two delivered in their debut game together. With Fehervary on the ice at five-on-five, Washington dominated play with positive differentials in shot attempts (+10), scoring chances (+8), and high-danger chances (+3). Roy led all skaters in ice time, playing 21:43 of the matchup.
Ivan Miroshnichenko was the Capitals player who filled out the stat sheet the most, recording two shots on goal, six individual shot attempts, four individual scoring chances, one individual high-danger chance, a hooking minor penalty, two hits, and one blocked shot.
Ilya Protas had a very solid night as the youngest player in Washington's lineup. Little Pro skated 13:12 of ice time in the matchup and almost found an assist when his big brother Aliaksei Protas rang the bar late in the second period.
