Capitals Seek Consistency
The term “peaks and valleys” is a perfect way to describe the Washington Capitals’ play of late; they are falling into a pattern of win-loss-win-loss and have lacked consistency. The Capitals’ woes seemed to start in a Feb. 11 game against the Detroit Red Wings. Though they had a strong opening frame, their second period […]

Capitals’ Smith-Pelly, NHL Address Racist Taunts
For Washington Capitals winger Devante Smith-Pelly, Saturday’s game was not the first time he’s seen racism in hockey, let alone racism directed toward himself. “It’s happened in hockey before,” Smith-Pelly told reporters following Sunday’s practice. “It’s happened to people [me and my family] personally know.” Smith-Pelly is a minority in the game of hockey, one […]

Dog Days Nonexistent for Capitals’ Beagle
In the Washington Capitals’ win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, the team finished with just 17 shots on goal. However, it was a shot from Jay Beagle – his only shot of the game – that would give the Capitals a 3-2 lead in the second period, eventually paving them to a 4-2 win against […]

The Washington Capitals have re-signed center Lars Eller to a five-year, $17.5 million contract, general manager Brian MacLellan announced Saturday.

John Carlson Leads Capitals’ Blue Line
Though the Washington Capitals entered Tuesday’s match-up against the Toronto Maple Leafs with three different defensive pairings, John Carlson appeared on all of them within about five minutes after puck drop.
