In the latest episode of Locked On Capitals, the team is grappling with a three-game losing streak after a tough 3-1 defeat against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Despite an initial strong showing with a 7-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers, the Capitals have struggled to maintain momentum, scoring only four goals in their last three games and failing to hold a lead in the process. Alex Ovechkin remains a bright spot, closing in on Wayne Gretzky’s goal record, but overall, the team's offensive execution has faltered significantly. 

Head coach Spencer Carbery addressed the challenges facing the team, particularly the slow starts that have seen them concede the first goal in four consecutive games. Players like Tom Wilson and Connor McMichael emphasized the need for improvement, with McMichael mentioning that the team may be overcomplicating their play. With the trade deadline approaching and playoff aspirations at stake, the Capitals need to regroup quickly and focus on finding their earlier form to regain their position at the top of the Eastern Conference.
