Caps bounce back from Olympics with 3-1 win over Flyers

Returning from the Olympic break, the Washington Capitals defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 3-1 at Capital One Arena. The game swung in the second period, with Trevor van Riemsdyk scoring the eventual winner and contributions from Rasmus Sandin, Declan Chishron (Chychrun), and Aliaksei Protas, who added a shorthanded empty-net goal to reach 20 goals and 40 points this season. Protas’s 20th goal came on the same night his brother Ilya scored for Hershey. The Caps extended their home winning streak to four games, and four players—Tom Wilson, Alex Ovechkin, Jakob Chychrun, and Protas—have 20+ goals this season. Goalie Logan Thompson stopped 23 of 24 shots in his first game back, helping the Caps hold on after a solid defensive effort.

Capitals Rally Past Islanders 4-1 at Home, Boosting Playoff Hopes

The Washington Capitals defeated the New York Islanders 4-1 at Capital One Arena, overturning a first-period deficit with a quick second-period burst (two goals in 31 seconds, including one from Martin Fehervary), then Nic Dowd added a third and John Carlson iced it with an empty-netter. Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin was sharp, but Washington’s ongoing power-play struggles limited their scoring. Fehervary celebrated the win just two days after his daughter Anna's birth, Dowd played in his 500th Capitals game, and the Caps move to Philadelphia next to face the Flyers as they push for the playoffs.

Rookie Justin Sourdif scored the OT winner, with Jakob Chychrun anchoring a leaky defense (28:01 ice time) and Clay Stevenson earning his first NHL win.

Capitals poised to land Panarin as extension price shapes trade market

Panarin’s looming trade could be one of the biggest in years, with the Rangers weighing siting him until the Olympic break and many teams wary of meeting a long-term, high-dollar extension; Washington’s ample cap space and deep prospect pool position them as early favorites, while interest persists from Florida, San Jose, and Seattle, all hinging on whether Panarin agrees to a long contract.

Capitals Not Expected to Land Panarin Amid Trade Buzz

Washington isn’t seen as a likely destination for Artemi Panarin despite ongoing rumors; Elliotte Friedman said the Capitals “don’t seem likely” to trade for the Rangers star, who is seeking a long extension and has a full no-trade clause. The Rangers reportedly want a Brock Nelson–style return, while Panarin’s preferred destination is the Florida Panthers, though cap and asset constraints may block that. The Capitals are said to be willing to offer a three-year extension around $12 million per season, and multiple teams remain in the mix as trade activity heats up ahead of the Olympic-break roster freeze and the March deadline.

Capitals Eye Bold Winger Upgrade as Deadline Approaches

Capitals GM Chris Patrick said Washington is actively pursuing a higher-end skilled winger ahead of the March 6 trade deadline, noting they won’t sacrifice top prospects like Cole Hutson, Ilya Protas, or Andrew Cristall unless a meaningful long-term impact is attached. With the playoff race in the East tight and many teams reluctant to sell, Washington may pursue rentals or longer-term fits (including Artemi Panarin) if the price is right, supported by about $12.78 million in cap space and a renewed emphasis on a youth-driven core.
