Story of the Day

The Capitals bounced back from a 4-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday to defeat the St. Louis Blues 8-1 on Saturday at Enterprise Center. The Capitals scored eight goals in a game for the first time since March 4, 2023 (8-3 W at SJS), while their seven-goal win margin marked their largest since Dec. 31, 2022 (9-2 W vs. MTL). Fourteen of 18 skaters recorded a point in the win, led by Dylan Strome’s three assists and Alex Ovechkin and Connor McMichael’s two goals. Strome ranks tied for third in the NHL in assists (18), Ovechkin has 10 goals through his first 14 games of a season for the ninth time in his career and McMichael shares the League lead in 5v5 goals (9).

The Capitals (10-4-0, 20 pts.) are one of seven teams who have not lost back-to-back games this season (also Carolina, Los Angeles, Minnesota, New York Rangers, Vancouver and Winnipeg). Washington’s plus-19 goal differential ranks tied for third in the NHL.
