""We'll probably try to utilize different guys, to be honest with you," he said postgame. "I think this is probably the last straw with the guys that we've had. So we'll look at some different guys...We've got to find a way to score in those situations.""
""I could go through the whole list," he said Thursday night. "I've even thought about Tom Wilson. I know he hasn't shot a lot in his career, but he's lead""
The Washington Capitals lost 3-2 to the Carolina Hurricanes in a shootout, marking an 0-4 shootout start this season. Head coach Spencer Carbery indicated he will try different shooters, calling the current results the "last straw." The team has long struggled in shootouts, with six wins in 18 games under Carbery and a two-for-five performance in 2024-25. The Capitals rank third-worst in shot percentage at 13.3 percent (2-for-15), compared to a league average of 32.29 percent. Goaltenders show mixed shootout results (.571 save percentage), with Charlie Lindgren at .800 (one game) and Logan Thompson at .444 (three games). Carbery has relied on Dylan Strome and Anthony Beauvillier but has rotated multiple players and named potential alternatives including Tom Wilson.
