"The Sunday Scaries hit the Washington Capitals hard early on this matinee game, giving up struggling Vancouver star Elias Pettersson's first goal of the season less than a minute into the game, giving the Canucks a lead that would expand by 3 more goals by the second period. Washington would chip away at the lead with a late period Ryan Leonard PPG in the second,"
"Plus: Even before things got interesting, things didn't look quite as bad on the ice as the scoreboard would suggest. Vancouver's second goal came off of a Tyler Myers rush that led to a very questionable goalie interference non-call that was upheld, and Vancouver would score on the ensuing power play as the challenge failed. Despite being put in that hole, Washington largely controlled possession through the 2nd and 3rd periods,"
The Capitals conceded Elias Pettersson's first goal of the season less than a minute into the matinee, and Vancouver led by four by the second period. Washington scored a late second-period Ryan Leonard power-play goal and Jakob Chychrun cut the deficit late in the third while mounting a near four-goal comeback that ultimately failed. Vancouver's second goal followed a Tyler Myers rush and a goalie interference non-call that was upheld, leading to a Vancouver power-play goal after a failed challenge. Washington controlled possession through the second and third periods. Goalie interference calls remain inconsistently applied.
