Well, didn't they lay an egg? There is no explanation to do justice to losing to a team that had one win on its own ice in nine tries, whose wins coming into this game came against teams with a combined 22-28-12 record. But the Caps found a way to lose to such a team tonight, dropping a 2-1 Gimmick loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs in Toronto. It isn’t even as if Toronto played an especially inspired...

The Caps' Eric Fehr netted the only goal of the first period for either team, but the Canadiens had twice as many...

Sometimes, you lose a game. Give Montreal credit. They played hard, and they played smart. It wasn’t the jaw-droppingly boring sort of “playing hard” that you might see by the plucky Islanders or the robotic Devils. Montreal played a game tailored to their own skill and that of the Capitals in a 3-2 Canadiens win last night. They took away the middle of the ice, they took away time...

The Capitals weren't sure what they were going to get out of 34-year-old Brendan Morrison. Now they're certainly glad they signed him.

When the season began, Brendan Morrison was slotted as the Washington Capitals' No. 2 center, but coach Bruce Boudreau needed some time to warm up to his new pivot. In about one-quarter of the season after signing with the Caps as a free agent, the 34-year-old Morrison has become one of the team's most valuable players. His ice time has continued to rise as he gains more responsibility, and he's producing...

NEWARK, N.J. | The Washington Capitals have proved they can win games without Alex Ovechkin, but they haven't shown they can best the New Jersey Devils with or without him. Five straight goals by the Devils nullified a fast start for Washington, and the Caps were soundly defeated for the first time this season in a 5-2 loss Saturday night at Prudential Center. New Jersey is now 3-0 against Washington...

Mike Knuble and Brendan Morrison were the two significant offseason additions for the Washington Capitals, and to this point their offensive production has met - and maybe even exceeded - expectations. Knuble is on pace for 68 points (which would be a career high) and leads the team with a plus-12 rating, while Morrison actually has one more goal (six) than his former teammate at Michigan and has made...

SUNRISE, Fla. | It certainly looks as if the Washington Capitals will be without Alex Ovechkin for at least two more games, so they're going to have more chances to show they can play well without him. A shot to prove Wednesday's third-period meltdown in New Jersey was an aberration is probably a good thing. "Our game plan going in was 'be patient, don't give up much and capitalize on our chances,'...

(Bruce Bennett/Getty Images) With Alex Ovechkin out, other players didn't fill the void, instead committing costly penalties in a 3-2 loss to New Jersey last night: The Capitals, who have dropped three straight (0-1-2), were assessed four penalties -- including two offensive-zone penalties taken by Alexander Semin and another by Brendan Morrison -- and the Devils struck twice on the ensuing power plays...

Well… don’t blame this one on the absence of Alex Ovechkin. Blame this 3-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils on some truly boneheaded plays and indifferent efforts. OK, New Jersey scored a goal on a fluke off-the-shin-pad shot from behind the Capitals’ net by Brian Rolston. It’s hockey, it happens, deal with it. But the other two goals? Alexander Semin takes a hooking call in his...

NEWARK, N.J. | The Washington Capitals are going to struggle to win games without Alex Ovechkin if they continue to end up with more penalties in the offensive zone than goals. New Jersey scored a pair of power-play goals in the final period, and the Devils benefited from another parade to the penalty box by the Caps in a 3-2 victory Wednesday night at Prudential Center. "This has to be on the...
