The Capitals announce they've recalled forward Ivan Miroshnichenko from Hershey (AHL) and returned forward Bogdan Trineyev loaned to Hershey.

i can't believe they gave up a second round pick three years from now for justin sourdif. the franchise will never recover.

Can you believe it? The Washington Capitals are back in the win column, and in dominant fashion. Logan Thompson and his Caps shut out the Toronto Maple Leafs, 4-0. 🧵 #ALLCAPS

Not called back. We're so back. Carlson puts the Caps up 4-0. #ALLCAPS

No skater wanted to stop Jakob from scoring, and Dennis Hildeby just couldn't, so he went ahead and did it. Two goals for Chychy and three for the Caps. #ALLCAPS

The Caps are doing things right. No score for anyone in the second period, but they only took one penalty and have only allowed Toronto 12 shots. They got a power play and it was good (!), and they're generally still controlling the game. Another goal would really be killer here. #ALLCAPS

The Caps go into the first intermission...winning? They're up 2-0 on the Leafs and lead in shots (9-4) and attempts (23-17), and have generally just been better. A full half of the period was spent on the PP or PK, with no conversions on either side. They just need to play a cleaner game. #ALLCAPS

Chychrun likes to get up in the play like a forward sometimes, and it tends to pay off. Just about two and a half minutes after their first goal, the Caps go up 2-0. #ALLCAPS

Finally, the Caps are back to getting the first goal of the game. Justin Sourdif has an absolutely perfect pass, along with just a bit of luck, and Aliaksei Protas doesn't have to do too much to get it in. #ALLCAPS

The Washington Capitals have lost four of their last five games; the Toronto Maple Leafs have lost three of their last five. Both could really use a win tonight, even as they sit at 6-2-2 in their last ten. We'll see soon enough who can get the job done. #ALLCAPS

The Washington Capitals lose again. After losing by four against the Jets, they go down 5-0 against the Minnesota Wild. They started strong but couldn't finish, in any sense of the word. 🧵 #ALLCAPS

A score on the Caps power play! Wait... #ALLCAPS

Tarasenko is just feeling it. He feeds Yurov for his third point of the night. The worst part of this game (aside from watching it) is that it's gonna be (and already is being) used as fuel for the Lindgren hate train, even though watching the game tells you it's not his fault. #ALLCAPS

Tarasenko-vechkin right off the draw. His second, and Minnesota's third. The chances of a comeback drastically go down. #ALLCAPS

Another period, another Wild goal, more of the same all around. The Caps are down 2-0 now and just can't get the puck in the net, even when they do most of the right things. Might just be one of those games. #ALLCAPS

Kaprizov, point blank. #ALLCAPS

The first period sees the Wild up 1-0 on the Caps. Not a bad period, with eleven shots and a few really good looks, but just no finishing for one reason or another. Tightening up the entries and the offensive action should be what it takes to capitalize on what Gustavsson is giving them. #ALLCAPS

Decent chance there for Strome. It's something

Right time, right place for Tarasenko, with Lindgren not seeing the puck until it's too late. The Wild are on the board and in the lead early. #ALLCAPS

Additionally, Sonny Milano will come back into the lineup and Bogdan Trineyev will be a healthy scratch

Charlie Lindgren is the first goalie off the ice and will start tonight for the Caps in Minnesota

Quinnter is coming. The Washington Capitals are in Minnesota to brave the Wild tonight at 8. The two teams are coming off very different last games, and I expect both to show up strong. #ALLCAPS

The Washington Capitals were thoroughly beaten by the Winnipeg Jets, 5-1. It probably wasn't even as close as the score indicates. As Nino Niederreiter celebrated game 1000 and Connor Hellebuyck made his triumphant return, the Caps just couldn't turn on their own jets. #ALLCAPS

At least it's not a shutout, I guess. Chychrun, one of the only reliable scorers, stays reliable even in an ugly game. 5-1. #ALLCAPS

Vilardi and scoring two on the Caps, an iconic duo. #ALLCAPS

At least the Caps don't start the third on the disadvantage? Vilardi puts the Jets up 4-0 to end the second period. Washington shot a little more, but it was still not a good time at all. Safe to say this is a loss already, but you'd still like to see *something* in the last twenty. #ALLCAPS

Sourdif scores a perfect goal. Well, it'd be perfect if teams didn't switch nets every period. Thompson gets beat by that incredibly unlucky deflection and the Caps are down 3-0. #ALLCAPS

That was a period. The Caps are down 2-0 to the Jets. Even if Connor Hellebuyck wasn't in the game, if Winnipeg had no goalie at all and every Washington shot went in, it'd still be a close game. For whatever reason, there's just no drive to speak of on offense, even with two power plays. #ALLCAPS

The Jets came to play. Morgan Barron puts em up 2-0. #ALLCAPS

I'm not convinced the entry before this wasn't offside, and with the delay between the goal and face-off, I think some other people weren't convinced either, but it's a good goal nonetheless. Big man Logan Stanley gets the Jets going first. #ALLCAPS

As expected, Capitals activate Charlie Lindgren (upper body) from IR and return goaltender Garin Bjorklund to Hershey (AHL) ahead of tonight's game in Winnipeg.

Bogdan Trineyev will make his NHL debut for the Caps tonight in Winnipeg. Sonny Milano will be a healthy scratch. Logan Thompson starts in goal

It's that time again. Seven more hours until the Washington Capitals take on the Winnipeg Jets. With Connor Hellebuyck potentially returning, this could end up being another crazy goalie battle. #ALLCAPS

After three periods, overtime, and a shootout, the Washington Capitals finally fall to the Carolina Hurricanes, 3-2. As expected, not a ton of scoring, but there were some good chances all around. Any worse goaltending or better post luck on either side and this is a high-scoring affair. #ALLCAPS

This one's on me for wanting to get to bed at a good time. The Capitals and Hurricanes are headed to overtime. At least one point secured. #ALLCAPS

Just as it started to feel like the Caps were gonna get the job done, Stankoven ties things up for the Canes. 2-2 in the dying minutes. #ALLCAPS

Sandin the setup, Dowd the redirection, it doesn't get better than that. Bussi gets over but can't stop it. The Caps are back up by one with time ticking away. #ALLCAPS

Another period that ends tied with a late Caps penalty. This time, though, it's 1-1 instead of 0-0. The shot gap is quite wide now, with the count at 30-9. Washington is going to need to step it up in all three zones if they want to pull away. #ALLCAPs

We saw this one coming, right? After a couple saved-by-the-post attempts from Carolina, Ehlers gets the game tied up. 23 shots, with several more that were millimeters away, something was bound to go. #ALLCAPS

Five shots, and one goal. That's a Caps stat right there. Connor McMichael gets it through Bussi off the perfect Ovi pass. #ALLCAPS

This first period sure was Canes hockey. They lead the Caps 13-4 in shots, but nobody's found the back of the net yet. Only one penalty, so the period flew by at least. I'm in favor of the Caps prioritizing D the way Carolina "wants" them to, because any goal is gonna be huge either way. #ALLCAPS

We finally got a timeline on Ryan Leonard's injury, and it's a good one. The team says it should be a three- to four-week recovery from his shoulder injury. I was expecting a couple months at least. #ALLCAPS

It was a nice break, and now it's nice to be back. The Washington Capitals are in action for the first time since Sunday, hosting the Carolina Hurricanes. The top two teams in the Metro (and the East), two of the best in the league, this one should be good, if not high-scoring. #ALLCAPS

Here's more on the Capitals swapping Clay Stevenson for Garin Bjorklund and how the change gives them flexibility on the waivers front: thehockeynews.com/nhl/washingt...

Not a crazy game, unless you love goaltending more than anything, but it was a good clean win. The Washington Capitals go over the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-0 and improve to 18-9-3. 🧵 #ALLCAPS

That PK is the highlight of this game #ALLCAPS

The second period ends 1-0 in favor of the Capitals. More great goalie play, and after 24 minutes of 5v5, the penalties started flowing. The Caps got two full power play opportunities, but the third was only twelve seconds (no conversions). No high excitement anywhere. Fine by me. #ALLCAPS

No hesitation and no holding back from Jakob Chychrun on this one, and the Capitals take the first lead of the game. #ALLCAPS
