"The Washington Capitals have lost four games in a row, and their latest defeat was a brutal one. After going up 2-0 against the winless-in-their-last-11-games Vancouver Canucks, the Caps allowed four unanswered goals and ultimately fell 4-3. A wise man once said, "So, s***'s not going right, it's not f***ing working the last 10 days. F***ing make it work by outworking the opposition." The Capitals controlled the majority of five-on-five play and, for once, got two goals in the same game from their power play."
"Logan Thompson did not have a great night in a game his team really could have used one. Thompson made just 21 saves and, per MoneyPuck, allowed 1.3 more goals than expected. At the other end, Kevin Lankinen was credited with saving 1.95 more goals than expected. That's your whole 4-3 result and then some. Hendrix Lapierre saw 6:43 of ice time in the loss. That's nothing new."
The Capitals have lost four games in a row and fell 4-3 after surrendering four unanswered goals to the Vancouver Canucks despite a 2-0 lead. Washington controlled most five-on-five play and produced two power-play goals but were undone by individual defensive errors and inconsistent goaltending. Vancouver tightened defensively in the third period, limiting Washington to nine shots. MoneyPuck shows Logan Thompson allowed 1.3 more goals than expected while Kevin Lankinen saved 1.95 more than expected. Hendrix Lapierre received just 6:43 of ice time. Tom Wilson returned with an assist and Alex Ovechkin reached 7,000 shots.
