In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the first regular season of the game against the Boston Bruins. The Capitals lost 5-2. The had some pretty decent push back but ultimately it wasn't enough. The game saw goals by Anthony Mantha and Conor Sheary. The game saw the Washington Capitals have Darcy Kuemper in net. Darcy made 25 saves on 29 shots. Not a great game, not a poor game by Darcy. Just a game that could use a little work.

Later in the show Dan talks about the loss of Brett Leason and AJF to waivers. Leason was picked up by Ducks and AJF was picked up by the Jets. Why did they Capitals have to expose them to waivers? Was there a more logical choice?

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the Capitals game Saturday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Capitals defeated the Blue Jackets by a score of 4-3. The game saw goals by Dylan Strome, Alex Ovechkin, Anthony Mantha and Nic Dowd. Darcy Kuemper made 36 saves on 39 shots.

In the preseason finale on Saturday, both groups got plenty of work as the Capitals and Columbus Blue Jackets logged a combined eight penalties in Washington’s 4-3 overtime victory. The Capitals went 1-for-4 in their power play opportunities, scoring on an Ovechkin one-timer in the final minute of the first period.

Later in the show Dan talks about the cuts to the roster Sunday. Lucas Johansen, along with Henrik Borgstrom, Axel Jonsson-Fjallby and Brett Leason, went on waivers after practice. If he clears, he will head to the AHL’s Hershey Bears.

“[I tell them] my office privately. I don’t take it lightly,” Laviolette said. “For a guy who was sent down every year, I understand exactly what they’re going through. Sometimes you don’t understand but I do. And the conversations are real. Emotions are real. I understand that and nowadays, for the most part, everybody works really hard to try and attain their goal. When you’re close, it’s you can feel that. It’s real.”

Aliaksei Protas and Joe Snively appear to have made the cut, though Laviolette said it is still camp and that nothing is permanent. Therefore, he hasn’t touched base with them on cracking the 23-man opening night roster, which is due on Monday at 5 p.m.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the latest with TJ Oshie and Dimitri Orlov. Both were injured in the last game against the Red Wings.

When questioned at the press conference today about their progress Peter Laviolette simply said they're day to day and not to expect to see TJ Oshie in the final preseason game Saturday.

Later in the show I talk about Aliaksei Protas and how he's battling to find a spot on this year's Capitals team. Will the possibility of TJ Oshie missing some time mean more playing time for a guy like Aliaksei Protas? Protas has played in all of the preseason games. He has a large frame and a little bit of bite to his game. With the absence of Tom Wilson until around Christmas the Capitals will need someone like Aliaksei Protas to fill that role.

Protas put in extra work and said:

“One hundred percent, in games right now, I realize I got better and I got so much work left,” Protas said. “I just got to keep it going right now. … With the improvements to my skating] I feel like I get better on forecheck and I can get closer to the D-man.”

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talk about the Caps 4-2 defeat of the Red Wings. Connor McMichael said this was his best preseason game this year. McMichael got on the score sheet by scoring a goal by the net front. All was not good news in the game however. TJ Oshie suffered an upper body injury. Oshie will be re-evaluated in the morning. Oshie was fighting for a puck in the offensive zone when he was hit from behind by Joe Veleno and went hard into the boards. He went down in visible pain and was slow to get up but skated to the bench under his own power. Oshie left the game shortly after.

Darcy Kuemper was solid in the Washington net, making 31 saves and keeping the Caps in the game until his teammates could get rolling. Connor Brown snapped a 2-2 tie with a power-play goal at 17:33 of the third period, lifting the Caps to their first lead of the night.
