The Washington Capitals finally ended their 25-day power-play goal drought during a game against the Buffalo Sabres, thanks to Pierre-Luc Dubois’ deflection of an Alex Ovechkin shot. This drought spanned ten games, with the team's performance drawing criticism from head coach Spencer Carbery. He had emphasized the importance of attacking the net during power plays. While the Capitals did score one goal on their two power-play chances, they struggled overall, raising concerns about their effectiveness ahead of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Pierre-Luc Dubois deflected an Alex Ovechkin shot past Buffalo Sabres goalie James Reimer late in the third period, ending the Caps' 25-day power-play drought.
At the end of the day, good power plays attack the interior... usually, you break a penalty kill down, and something glorious opens up off those attacks.
