The Washington Capitals faced a devastating loss against the Columbus Blue Jackets, finishing 7-0. The Capitals displayed dismal performance, with key players shredding their defenses. Goalie Hunter Shepard had a particularly challenging night, allowing six goals despite facing significantly fewer expected goals. The game was expected to feature a milestone performance from Alexander Ovechkin, further amplifying its disappointment. Fans were left questioning the game’s broadcast value, as it was highly anticipated yet ultimately offered little excitement.
"Zach Werenski beat Hunter Shepard deep in the net. Four minutes later, Kent Johnson tricked Martin Fehervary out of his skates and beat Shepard five-hole."
"It's critical to remember that ABC/ESPN paid late-empire American dollars to get broadcast exclusivity for this k-hole of a game."
