Washington Capitals’ power play struggles continue as possession fa...

Going for offense is easy. Covering the fallout is the hard part.

Spencer Carberry’s takeaway on hockey balance: rush defenders if you want, but forwards must play defense too.

• If a defenseman joins the attack, someone owns the space behind him
• Forwards can’t assume “the other guy” will cover the back end
• Support the play, then protect against the turnover
• This isn’t beginner hockey—pro players still have to communicate responsibility

Where do you see teams fail most: communication, positioning, or decision-making?

PLD wasn’t just a “scorer” move.

Spencer Carberry explains why the Capitals felt Dubois could handle difficult matchups and give coaches real options.

• They checked underlying numbers, not just results
• The film in tough situations looked positive
• Carberry’s Toronto story shows the kind of pressure Dubois brings
• Center depth is about options, not only goals
• Options help coaches adjust when games get ugly

What’s the bigger value for you: matchup toughness or offensive output?

A power play can look busy and still be useless.

Spencer Carbery says the Caps don’t need more possession. They need more pressure around the net.

• Clean entries don’t equal scoring chances
• Turn the play: defenders face their own net
• Create traffic and hunt rebounds
• Make the first opportunity count, then attack again
• Analytics should support the eye test, not replace it

What should the Caps change first on the power play: entries, puck movement, or shooting through traffic?

Capitals Trade Rumors & Logan Thompson Injury Update!

10/26/2026

They don’t need a savior. They need minutes.

Washington claimed Jack St. Ivany off waivers because the blue line is getting hit by injuries. But expectations matter.

• Carbery’s message is clear: not a “Day Harnay” replacement
• This move is about surviving the injury stretch with structure
• Justin Hall’s recent game gives the staff another data point
• St. Ivany has NHL experience, but top-four reliability is unproven
• His Winnipeg numbers suggest a role, not a full solution

Should the Caps lean on St. Ivany more, or stick with Hall as the safer option?
