Capitals' power play 'not even close to good enough' in loss to Lightning: 'It's costing us games'
""I will be honest with you, (the power play) wasn't great the other night," Carbery said Saturday morning. "And I know we get two, so you're like, 'Everything is fixed.' So that's just the facts. When you watch the film, the four-on-three was not good. Had a full almost two minutes, and I'm not sure we registered a shot. So it continues to be a work in progress.""
""We're not making simple plays. We're not moving. It's a little bit too predictable, probably. At the end of the day, it comes down to us, all 10 guys. You've just got to make better plays. When you have the puck, you've got to get it to the next guy's tape. Can't pass on the problem. And all of us seem to just kind of be throwing it around right now.""
The Washington Capitals continue to struggle with their power play, showing brief success but failing to sustain effectiveness. The coaching staff identified poor execution on four-on-three advantages and a lack of shots during extended opportunities. In a game with a season-high six power-play chances, the team failed to convert any, and the opponent scored the only power-play goal. Players acknowledged predictable passing, poor movement, and missed simple plays as recurring problems. The power play's inconsistency dates back multiple seasons and is directly costing games, prompting demands for better decision-making and increased confidence on the man advantage.
