The Washington Capitals, leading the Eastern Conference, aim to recover from a disappointing 3-0 loss to the Los Angeles Kings as they face the San Jose Sharks. Despite a five-game winning streak, the Capitals struggled offensively, with star Alex Ovechkin failing to register a shot on goal. Coach Spencer Carbery emphasized the team's lackluster performance, especially on the power play. In contrast, the Sharks, last in the league, seek to build on a recent victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, although their playoff hopes are dimming.
Not only were the Capitals blanked, but Alex Ovechkin -- who needs nine goals to break Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky's NHL record of 894 goals -- was held without a shot on net for the first time since the season opener.
The Capitals saw their five-game winning streak snapped with a disappointing 3-0 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday. The final score only told part of the tale.
I didn't think we were very good at all, starting from the first period. I thought we were hanging around... but we just never found it.
We've got to find a way through in the neutral zone... that's something we've got to learn from and look at to get better, because ... that was missing.
