"Yeah, there is nothing good to say about that performance from the Capitals. They were utterly dominated by the Jets all night, recording just three five-on-five high-danger chances and allowing 13. The late power plays made their overall results look a lot better than they deserved. Some of the recent play is a bit concerning. They need to get back to the form they had earlier in the season."
"Not the most fun game to make your NHL debut, but one Bogdan Trineyev will always remember nonetheless. Trineyev was arguably the team's best forward in the loss, skating 11:45 of ice time on the team's fourth line with Nic Dowd and Brandon Duhaime. With him on the ice five-on-five, the Capitals were up 15-8 in shot attempts, 9-4 in shots on goal, 7-3 in scoring chances, and 2-0 in high-danger chances."
The Washington Capitals lost 5-1 to the Winnipeg Jets, getting dominated for most of the game. The Capitals recorded just three five-on-five high-danger chances while allowing 13, and late power plays skewed the overall results. Alex Ovechkin assisted on Jakob Chychrun's goal, ending Connor Hellebuyck's shutout bid and moving Ovechkin to 611 power-play points, passing Jaromir Jagr for 10th all-time. Ovechkin and center Dylan Strome struggled and were separated by coach Spencer Carbery late in regulation. Bogdan Trineyev made his NHL debut and posted a highly positive five-on-five stat line while skating 11:45 on the fourth line. The team needs to return to earlier-season form and respond against the Minnesota Wild.
