| | | SAN JOSE: LAST SEASON: 45-27-10, 100 points. Third place in Pacific Division. LOST to Vegas Golden Knights in Western Conference semifinals.
COACH: Peter DeBoer (fourth season, 11th NHL season).
ADDED: D Erik Karlsson, F Antti Suomela, F Rourke Chartier.
LOST: F Chris Tierney, D Dylan DeMelo, F Mikkel Boedker, F Eric Fehr, F Joel Ward, F Jannik Hansen, D Paul Martin. PLAYER TO WATCH: Karlsson. The Sharks ADDED the two-time Norris Trophy-winning defenseman on the eve of training camp in a blockbuster move. Karlsson is an elite playmaker and defenseman and should provide a major boost to San Jose on the power play, as well as five-on-five play.
OUTLOOK: Ever since acquiring Joe Thornton in general manager Doug Wilson's first blockbuster trade back in 2005, the Sharks have viewed themselves as Stanley Cup contenders almost every season. That is clearly the case this year after adding Karlsson to a defensive unit that already featured 2016 Norris winner Brent Burns and shut-down defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic. The Sharks are potentially thin at center and will need a healthy season from Thornton at age 39 after two straight years with major knee injuries in order to challenge for the Cup. | | WASHINGTON: LAST SEASON: 49-26-7, 105 points. Won Metropolitan Division and Stanley Cup.
COACH: Todd Reirden (First season, first NHL season)
ADDED: C Nic Dowd, G Ilya Samsonov LOST: C Jay Beagle, G Philipp Grubauer, D Jakub Jerabek
PLAYER TO WATCH: LW Alex Ovechkin. Coming off scoring an NHL-best 49 goals and winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, Ovechkin has nothing left to prove as one of the best players of his generation. Now the Russian superstar is a father and a Stanley Cup-winner, though, so everyone's waiting to see his next trick at age 33.
OUTLOOK: Stanley Cup hangovers are real, and the Capitals will have to manage that and goaltender Braden Holtby playing more games because they don't have a proven backup. Washington has the talent on paper to make another deep run, but all those games deep into last June could have an effect. Reirden will have to be careful with that after replacing Barry Trotz behind the bench. |
| | Caps, Sharks aim to end midseason skids
The Washington Capitals and the visiting San Jose Sharks both are hoping to snap out of recent slides when they meet Tuesday in the nation's capital. Washington is going through its worst stretch of the season, having dropped five consecutive games (0-4-1). San Jose lost its third straight on Monday, falling 6-2 to the host Florida Panthers. The skid immediately followed a seven-game winning streak. First-year Capitals coach Todd Reirden met with his players before practice on Monday to talk about things they need to do better. He said the problems are both mental and physical, and they need to get back to the kind of hockey they played earlier this season and in last year's playoffs en route to winning the Stanley Cup. "They're a group that wants to take ownership in the product," Reirden said. "They believe in what we're doing. I think we have a really proud group, and our leadership group is very strong. ... Many of those (championship-winning) people are still in the room now, so I'm confident in that and the endgame product. I believe in the guys in this room." The Capitals began having problems on the defensive end when goalie Braden Holtby missed 2 1/2 games after being poked in the eye during a loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Jan. 12. He left that game about midway through that game and missed the next two, and Washington lost all three contests. Holtby came back Friday in 2-0 home loss to the New York Islanders and played well but struggled in Sunday's 8-5 loss at Chicago. Reirden pulled him after Holtby gave up four goals on 11 shots in just over one period. Pheonix Copley allowed three goals on 17 shots before the Blackhawks got an empty-netter. As for the Washington defense, Reirden shook up all four lines Sunday. The Capitals are trying to get center Evgeny Kuznetsov going after a great run during last spring's Stanley Cup playoffs. Kuznetsov is having a hard time this season, scoring just one five-on-five goal so far, and the coach dropped him to the third line Sunday. Washington's final game before the All-Star break is Wednesday in Toronto. The Sharks are coming in off a loss in which they blew a 3-1 lead by allowing the only four goals of the third period. Florida notched two power-play tallies nine seconds apart early in the period after Evander Kane was hit with a double minor for high-sticking, and the Panthers pulled away from there. Logan Couture and Tim Meier each scored for the Sharks. Martin Jones started in goal but got pulled after the fifth goal Monday. Aaron Dell finished the game in his place. San Jose, which plays its last game before the All-Star break on Tuesday, could be without Erik Karlsson against Washington. The lower-body injury might also keep the defenseman out of the All-Star Game, which will be played in the Sharks' arena on Saturday. "I have no idea what's going on with (Karlsson's status for Saturday)," San Jose coach Pete DeBoer told the Mercury News. "I just want to get him healthy. If he's healthy enough, I would hope he'll play, and I know he would play. Let's cross our fingers and hope that he's healthy enough to play." Karlsson had one goal and 24 assists while recording at least one point in each of the 14 games he played from Dec. 7-Jan. 8. The NHL doesn't recognize it as a point-scoring streak because he missed two of his team's game in that stretch due to a suspension for an illegal check to the head of the Los Angeles Kings' Austin Wagner. --Field Level Media |
