The Capitals kept the Sharks winless on the season by notching a 3-1 victory at Capital One Arena.
The San Jose Sharks arrived at Capital One Arena for Sunday’s game against the Washington Capitals without a win — and without a goal in their previous two games. Washington, on the other hand, had won back-to-back games for the first time this season. In other words, this matchup had the makings of a trap game.For the first two periods, it appeared the Capitals had fallen right into the trap.
Washington pushed back late in the period, boosted by a dangerous power play and several scoring chances from designed faceoff plays, but San Jose goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood stopped every shot. On many of Washington’s scoring chances, Blackwood was able to make a straightforward save because there was no traffic in front of him. That changed with just under five minutes to go when Wilson’s backhander deflected off a San Jose player and into the net after a scramble in front of the crease.Share this articleCenter Nic Dowd, who has been out with an upper-body injury since Oct. 18, was placed on injured reserve.
