Alex Ovechkin scored twice, and the Washington Capitals rallied past old coach Bruce Boudreau and the Vancouver Canucks 6-4 on Monday night for their second ...

"When you're on a roll, you're waiting for good things to happen," Boudreau said. Evgeny Kuznetsov had three assists hours after missing the morning skate and being considered a game-time decision. Boudreau said it would be fair to call the Canucks "mentally weak" at this stage. ... We were on the attacking, and we were pushing the whole time." Dylan Strome got the comeback started with a power-play goal early in the third, continuing his strong start with his new team, before John Carlson tied it and Conor Sheary put the Capitals ahead. The team said Brown had a lower-body injury, and Laviolette only added that an evaluation was ongoing.

The Vancouver Canucks blew another multi-goal lead, this time to the Washington Capitals, and are 0-3 to start the season.

Obviously, I’m here now and it’s a lot of the same faces so it’s been really easy for me to adjust.” “He felt better today and he wanted to skate. He didn’t practise on Sunday and GM Patrik Allvin would only say the team is monitoring his health. Miller, Elias Pettersson and Bo Horvat to lead the charge. Of course, the Canucks can’t kill a penalty so far this season, and yes, J.T. Canucks got a three on one after Nic Dowd fell down and Tanner Pearson skated away with the puck on his stick. You’d like to see a little more action in there, but this was a fine road effort. I mean, I must have the wrong guys out there, because they’re scoring in the first 15 seconds all the time. “Something where that has to be one of the staples of our game. “Having three leads on the road, two of them tie games going to the third period. “You gotta be confident when you have a lead, you got to be confident at all times. In the end they lost 6-4 to the Washington Capitals.

It’s Strome’s first goal as a Capital. The puck went off the side of the net and Demko’s pads, and went right to Lars Eller in the slot. The Capitals will be wearing their navy blue alternates for the first time this season. Evgeny Kuznetsov may not play due to the dreaded and undefinable “maintenance” classification. They’ll try to do so against Bruce Boudreau’s Vancouver Canucks who are in town and desperate for a victory.

The 28-year-old scored a career-high 21 goals with 11 assists over 53 games last season with the Maple Leafs, his third and final campaign in Toronto.

The bulk of the shot attempts occurred below the circles and nearly in front of the goal. That trio skated the most together of any line during five-on-five play (10:45) and boasted really strong possession and scoring chance suppression numbers. Protas leads the team in CF%, FF%, SF%, and HDCF%. The other two lines are up in the air at this point if you keep the previously mentioned lines together. The Capitals dominated all of the statistical categories, scoring three goals during five-on-five play and allowing none. I would be extremely surprised if Laviolette didn’t pencil in the trio of Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov (if he’s not suspended for that egregious slash on Kyle Burroughs), and Conor Sheary as the top line against the Ottawa Senators on Thursday. The Capitals we saw in the third period played with intensity and purpose–something we all want to see much more of down the stretch. The 90.65 xGF% and 100 HDCF% is certainly amazing. The second period was much of the same, or even worse in some cases. The Capitals were a bit underwhelming through the first two frames of the tilt against the Canucks. [The first period saw below average possession rates, specifically in Corsi (CF%) and Fenwick (FF%) shot attempt generation. Typically, in these posts, we compare the two teams’ performances for the entire game during five-on-five play.

Ilya Mikheyev is close to returning to the Vancouver Canucks' lineup, which should help their putrid penalty kill.

He also proved he can help offensively last season, scoring a career-high 21 goals in just 53 games. The 28-year-old Russian was playing on a line with Elias Pettersson and Andrei Kuzmenko before he was hurt. More than any other offseason acquisition, Mikheyev was supposed to help Vancouver’s putrid penalty kill.

Alex Ovechkin scored twice, and the Washington Capitals beat the Vancouver Canucks 6-4.

“When you’re on a roll, you’re waiting for good things to happen,” Boudreau said. NOTES: Ovechkin’s goal was the 11th of his career in the opening minute of regulation. Boudreau said it would be fair to call the Canucks “mentally weak” at this stage. Dylan Strome got the comeback started with a power-play goal early in the third, continuing his strong start with his new team, before John Carlson tied it and Conor Sheary put the Capitals ahead. The team said Brown had a lower-body injury, and Laviolette only added that an evaluation was ongoing. “We find ourselves down going into the third period and turning the puck over too much and it keeps us from playing fast and getting into their end,” coach Peter Laviolette said.

are the teams that take care of the puck and the teams that defend well. A lot of guys spoke up and spoke from the heart. “It's just a matter of how are we going to do it and how are we going to get over this thing here. The only way is to become detailed in your own end and harder (to play against). But the only true way that teams win in this league and win championships is by defending. “It's pretty tough right now,” veteran defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson said as he headed for the bus and a quiet flight to Columbus. “The only way to win in this league is by defending,” defenceman Luke Schenn told reporters afterwards. They came at us pretty good (in the third period), and we just didn't handle it very well.” When you're in something like this, you're waiting for something bad to happen.” I've got to do better things, be a better leader, and eventually things are going to turn around.” Over three games, the Canucks have blown a cumulative 9-2 lead while being outscored 7-0 in the third period. They’re the only franchise in the National Hockey League that is 0-3 in Stanley Cup Finals.

The Canucks have set an infamous NHL record, becoming the first team to blow leads of two or more goals in three games to start a season.

We’ve got to find ways to win. “We’ve just got to show more maturity in our game and take it to teams. When you’re on something like this, you’re waiting for something bad to happen.” We’ve got to remember how bad this feels. Luckily we play [again] tomorrow night, so we’ve got to have a short-term memory and go out there and do it.” We’ve got to remember this feeling.

"I have full faith in this team that we're going to bounce back from this, and it starts tomorrow night." When you're in something like this, you're waiting for something bad to happen."

Even if it was just him skating near the puck and waiting to see if he could jump in and steal it, it was noticeable all night long: Add in the fact the Canucks are asking him to play top minutes, and the fact he’s the guy who skates with the puck the most, and that’s a taxing burden on him. He can skate with the puck and run a Houston James Harden ISO-offense: I will say that Kyle Burroughs being the top DAWG two games in a row is not surprising. This was a bit of an odd goal because the puck gets stuck under Demko’s pad, so when he kicks his leg back to move in the crease, he ends up sliding the puck into the net. They had a lot of issues exiting their zone with control, and had too many turnovers as a result of this, but they skated hard and did their best to minimize the damage. If you’re watching a replay and wondering if it’s the Nationals or the Capitals, something has gone very wrong. If that’s Steve Bernier, he circles off for a line change, but EP40 is staying near the puck, trying to make things happen, a trend we will see later in this article. Ironically in what was the most offensively noticeable game for Pearson and Horvat was also their worst analytically. You can feel the tension in the city, not just about the losses, but in how the team is losing. The bad news is, the Canucks’ defensive game finally reared its ugly head to let you know that it still exists and will be a problem. It’s like that guy in college telling everyone he can jump off the roof and land in the pool but nobody asked him to.
