Welcome to the first Washington Capitals west coast road trip since March of 2020, just before the world was turned on its head. Tonight we celebrate with Japers’ Rink after dark, where the censorship regulations have been downgraded, the heavy hand of the bartender has been upgraded, and the inhibitions of the recapper have suffered greatly.
In this recapper’s crosshairs tonight was a game between the two teams with the NHL’s longest active win streaks coming into the evening - the Anaheim Ducks, who had won seven consecutive games, and your Caps, who had taken four straight.
