1 day agoFriday Caps Clips: Blown in the Wind
Washington Capitals lost another shootout, intensifying scrutiny on coach Carbery, with an ambiguous Ryan Leonard update and Quinn Hughes trade rumors involving the Caps.
Though Ovechkin didn't shoot in the first three rounds of the skills competition, Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery sent him over the boards as the team's fourth shooter. That choice proved the deciding moment of the game: after Devils goaltender Jake Allen stopped Ovechkin's attempt, Simon Nemec snuck the puck past Logan Thompson for the win. Carbery told reporters postgame that Ovechkin's strong third period convinced him to give him a chance to shoot.
