The Florida Panthers bounced back from an embarrassing performance in Raleigh with a gutsy 5-2 win over the Washington Capitals in the second half of a back-to-back to close its six-game road trip on a positive note.
After the Capitals had a goal wiped off the board, the Panthers opened the scoring 13:23 into the first when Sam Bennett tracked down Aaron Ekblad’s dump in. Bennett tried to come out in front and stuff the puck past Logan Thompson. Thompson denied the bid, but kicked the puc...

The San Jose Sharks started off the team’s East Coast swing with a tilt against Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals, the rematch coming about a month after a rough outing for the Sharks at SAP Center. In what could possibly have been San Jose’s last game against the Great 8, San Jose narrowly escaped with a 3-2 victory to start the trip off on the right foot.
This game started off as a bit of a snoozer; outside of some good chances at both ends, both teams were struggling to find li...
The San Jose Sharks are on the road and hoping to shake off those demons from another failed attempt to beat the Vegas Golden Knights. San Jose can prove that it has what it takes to compete in the playoffs by taking on another playoff contender today, the Washington Capitals. The last time these two teams met, the Sharks didn’t fare well. The Capitals beat up on the Sharks, dominating San Jose 7-1 on Dec. 3. A 4-0 first period by the Capitals ended the game before it truly got started. The Sh...

First period
Mike Matheson thwarts an immediate Capitals chance with a sliding strip of the puck.
Nick Suzuki gets tripped as he tries to get onto a loose puck deep in the Capitals zone, but is still able to set up Alexandre Texier for a shot, which goes off the post. No goal, but a power play.
Juraj Slafkovský hits the opposite post seconds into the power play.
It’s another hot start for the Habs that should have resulted in at least one goal, but they just need to keep ...

Head down to the comments to talk about Friday’s game against the Capitals!
Game Preview
There’s a flu bug ripping thru the Blackhawks room right now. Nick Foligno, Ilya Mikheyev and Arvid Söderblom were not at the morning skate on Friday before the Hawks host the Washington Capitals.
So, after watching Blackhawks legend Scott Foster take reps at the morning skate, it makes sense that the Blackhawks would need a viable backup if Söderblom can’t go; the Blackhawks have a back-to-back with a trip to Nashville after the game tonight. They then play again on Monday night.

Good Friday morning Caps fans. I hope it’s been a good week for everyone and that you’re wrapping things up at work before the weekend. It’s been an eventful week in Caps world — and not in a fun way. News dropped on Wednesday afternoon that Miami was rumored to be interested in trading/cashfering for Tristan Blackmon. Then the Miami Herald reported that it was …

It’s Friday night in Chicago and the Blackhawks are wearing black. Love to see it! The Washington Capitals are in town for a game between two teams that played just six days ago. When the two teams played last weekend, the Blackhawks didn’t have Connor Bedard in the lineup. That will NOT be the case tonight !
After the Bulls’ game was postponed because of humidity issues last night, there were some concerns about the ice surface. The folks at the United Center are some of the best at what...
The Blackhawks look to continue their unbeaten start to 2026 on Friday night at the United Center against the Washington Capitals.
Let’s start with the home team this evening because there’s important news to share:
Connor Bedard says he’s ready to go. — Scott Powers ( @scottpowers.bsky.social ) January 9, 2026 at 10:55 AM
While Bedard is back — and he was practicing with the top power-play unit, as one would expect — several other players (along with coach Jeff Blashill) ...
The day has finally arrived, Blackhawks fans! Connor Bedard is expected to be back in the lineup!
Bedard said he’s “good to go” after the morning skate on Friday, so he looks to draw back in the lineup when the Blackhawks host the Washington Capitals.
Bedard has been out since injuring his shoulder at the end of the Blackhawks’ loss in St. Louis on Dec. 12. With him out of the lineup, the Blackhawks were 5-6-1, a record that’s much better now that the Hawks have won their last four g...
Along with author and Capitals expert Ted Starkey, we remember Richard Zednik, a talented player and borderline legend for three NHL teams, but a footnote in Islanders history. Zednik started his career with the bang, as an exciting rookie on the Capitals 1998 Stanley Cup final team. He hit a new level after being traded […]
