In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about his frustration with the Caps play as of late. Spencer Carbery and all the players said that these are must win games. We've seen little to no evidence of that as they got demolished by the Avalanche after having the same result the night before in Minnesota. There don't seem to be any clear answers but Dan discusses his thoughts about the state of the Caps. Later he talks about what went wrong in Colorado. The Caps at points even outworked the Avs but their age and slow speed came into focus as the Avs skill and speed were more than the Caps could handle. In the last segment Dan talks about your comments about the Caps play as of late.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the important stretch of games that will determine what the Capitals future is in the spring. The trade deadline if March 8th and these games will determine if the Caps will be buyers or sellers. Later Dan talks about what going wrong with the Caps. The lack of 5x5 scoring and the lack of chemistry on the d-pairings and forward lines are due at least in part to the Capitals struggles. Later Dan breaks down the Caps/Wild game and hopes that that games isn't a sign of things to come.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the Capitals most recent loss to the St Louis Blues in St Louis. This is quite an about face from the Capitals previous game against the Blues on Thursday evening where the Capitals defeated the Blues. The Blue s didn't allow for much opportunity to get the Capitals offense going. Evgeny Kuznetsov was demoted to the 4th line and Nic Dowd was promoted to the top line. Kuzy has struggles with consistency this entire season. Nic Dowd has been one of the bright sports for the Capitals. The Capitals sign Aliaksei Protas to a five-year extension with their eyes on the present and future as Protas has been a big contributor to the Capitals offense this season. IN the final segment Dan talks about Clay Stevenson and how he's ranked number one in all of the AHL in net. Clay Stevenson made 28 saves to earn his American Hockey League-leading sixth shutout of the season and set a club rookie record as the Hershey Bears (31-7-0-2) picked up a 1-0 victory over the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (20-14-5-0) in front of a crowd of 10,628 on Saturday night at GIANT Center. Stevenson's shutout moved him past Vitek Vanecek (2016-17) and Ron Hextall (1985-86) for sole possession of the franchise single-season record for shutouts by a rookie netminder.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the Capitals taking down the St Louis blues Thursday night. It was a much needed two points for a Capitals team that's trying to claw back into the metro division race. It was also a big nigh for TJ Oshie who got a hat trick against his former team. This game also saw the return of the Capitals Captain after missing time with an injury. Nicolas Aube Kubel and Dylan Strome. This is crunch time for the Capitals as they hope to be contenders before the trade deadline in March

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the Caps picking up a much needed two point in their shutout victory of the Anaheim Ducks. Darcy Kuemper was sharp in net and making it difficult to know exactly who the number one netminder for the Capitals is. The top line of Max Pacioretty, Dylan Strome and TJ Oshie was impressive once again as they were generating chances and putting pressure on the Ducks. It makes me wonder what the Caps will do when Alex Ovechkin returns. Tom Wilson scored the second goal of the game and that's what put the dagger in the Ducks chances of a late game rally.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about if the Capitals will be buyers or sellers at this year's trade deadline in March. A lot of that will be determined by how they play in the next few weeks. If they can show sustained winning and climbing the metro division that might swing for the fences and try and pick up that big name forward like Jake Guentzel or Elias Lindholm or defenseman like Noah Hanifin or Chris Tanev. If not, the Capitals could be sellers like they were last year. It's up to them how the season plays out

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the Caps losing in the second game of the back to back with the New York Rangers. The rangers scored early in the game and the Capitals were on their heels trying to claw their way back into the game. Charlie Lindgren played well in his back to back starts against the Rangers. He didn't get the result that he was looking for as TJ Oshie was the only Capitals that was able to find the back of the net. The Caps spent a lot of time on the PK and weren't able to rally like they did on Saturday.
