NHL Highlights | Capitals vs. Penguins – November 6, 2025

Sheilops has a lot to do with it, but there’s a lot of excitement in Pittsburgh behind Sheilovs, the backup goalenders, 21-year-old Sergey Murashaw. He’s their hope for the future, and they’re excited to have him here. And as you said, over 32% on the year, second best in the early going. Malin snaps one out in front. There’s a shot off the post. Rust rings it off the iron. Back over to the captain and down to the goal line to Malcin. Malcin quickly back up to Crosby. Carlson thought about a one-time shot pass instead. Mal get it right back to Carlson. The puck smartly moving around on this power play for Pittsburgh and Rust. He was the shooter. Kendall seen pass score. [Applause] Kindle to Crosby. A power play goal. And the Penguins have the lead. 21 for Crosby. Carlson’s going to start this up at the top. I was thinking about Ben Kindle here. He’s on the ice with three Hall of Famers and Brian Rust who’s such an excellent player, but there’s no secondguing to Kindle’s game. He’s so confident when he gets the puck. He already knew that. There is Laz pocket picking and he’ll take off the other way. Lazad across the line with a drop that long wrist shot stopped and a rebound stopped by Lindred. Loose in the blue paint. Lang skates onto it and controls for the Penguins. A tie up behind the net and a takeaway. Hendricks Lapierre on the move plays it up top. Sandine a little shimmy shake shoots and gets through and a rebound stopped by Sheilops on Milano and he escapes. Mcichael speeds across the line. Makes it off the back board forwards and it’s handled by Wilson. Tied up. Still got the puck to Mcichael from his knees to ProS who controls off the blocker of Sheilops. The quick wrist release from Prous. He’ll try a one-time and this time fans on it. A break. Here’s Crosby looking for a second. Save made. That might have caught the helmet of Lingren. That was Kindle with the pass again. Right up the gut. He recognized Crosby was clean and Lingren makes a good stop. Clifton. A good stick at the Penguins line. Flip to Rust. He’s around Stro. Rust moves in. Hit the post. His second post here in the first period on Matt Kendall. He chips it just wide. Great puck movement on both power plays for Pittsburgh. They scored on their first. Rust in the bumper. It’s Carlson. Shot s. Guess who the captain does it again. Two nothing Penguins. 39 year 38 years old. He’s got 11 goals already on the season. Look at him around the front of the net. one of the best in the game around the front because he can tip the puck and react to it much quicker than the players he’s competing against. Lingren makes a really good save. This was a high tip out in the slot. Carlson’s shot is deflected there by Rust. Lingren can’t catch it, but he knocks it down. Crosby sneaks in behind center circle across the line. Wilson gets a return on net. She gobbles it up. Where is it? He’s not sure. snaps the pads together to keep it off the goal line. Here is Rust. He’s hit the post twice here in the first period. Across the line, Lazot Rust heads to the net. Shot save made by Lingren. Traps it with the glove. We’ve got play very simply together, very easily together. And the Penguins are reaping the benefit of a high octane start again. Two goals and a two nothing lead. ESPN bet is the sports book for sports fans. and then hands it off to Gore off the stick of Carlson. Lazot there first again up in the air. Kept on side for the moment by Braves. Novak has it. Novak to the backand save. Lingren the rebound. Score. Novak chased his own shot. Squeezed it past Lindren. Three nothing Pittsburgh. Unless Anthony Ma tipped it. Fresh team and a tired team. Jim D or Nick Da does not normally make this play. He goes to the puck at the blue line. He tries to poke it by Graves. And now you’ve got three Capitals outside the blue line. Everybody thinks the puck is going out of the zone. You should not leave before the puck is out of the zone. Can’t get it past Memphis. Kept on side to Thomassino. Floats one to Latang. And now Kven towrag shoots save. Lindred does not know where the puck is. Carvin and digs at the rebound and Carlson spins it up the boards. Been banged up pretty good here. They’ve got five guys that are out of the lineup that would normally be there. Ricard Raquel, you know, from early in the year. They lost to Char the other night. Stro shoots, score. Dylan Stro picks the corner off the shoulder of Sheiloffs. The goal the Caps needed to get back in it. It’s now 3-1. Stro flings this puck. It comes off the toe of his stick right where the curve is and it goes right up over top of the shoulder of Sheilos. This is an excellent Capitals for check. Bollier jumps in first. Stro pinches the wall off and as the puck is just shoveled up the boards. Carlson turns it back. Leonard skates to stick. Froas heading to the net. Leonard couldn’t get it to him. Room for La Pierre. Carlson called for the puck in front. Leonard backhander. Oh, Brian Leonard pulled it to the backand got Sheiloffs to commit. So, we’ll get a look here on the entry. There’s Waters Spoon who’s going to get a stick on the puck right here. The puck goes backwards. Oh boy. I think super close. But I after coaches challenge video review, the play was offside. There is no goal. Please 553. And it costing them a power play if they get it wrong. And it’s amazing the success rate. They usually don’t make the decision to challenge unless they are very confident they’ve got it right. Ouchin across. Drops for Stro. There’s a trailer in Sandee. Score. How about that? The Capitals answer and make it a one-goal game. Nothing lead. And then the leaks start. Ovetkin’s got his second assist on the night. Dylan Stro’s got a goal and an assist. And this one goes right through the legs of Arto Sheilovs as Rasmus Sandines shot deflects off the left pad. It’s in the net and the Caps have found their game here in the middle period. They’ve got a pair. Ovkin with the setup. An extra pass by Wilson and the miscommunication with Stro. Wilson waiting for it. This time he eyes the net on the move instead. It’s Stone. Chick down low hooked in front. Ouchin digging for it. Stro puts in the blue paint. Wilson score. We’re tied. 3.6 to go in the second. And Wilson nuts it at three. Like the Penguins third goal when the Caps didn’t get it out of the zone. This time Kindle doesn’t get it out of the zone and the play gets turned around. All kinds of traffic around Arthur Sheila as he’s trying to seal the post, but Wilson’s shot squeaks in. A threegoal second period for the Caps. down 3 nothing. They’ve come all the way back and Tom Wilson who said it would be a dream to be on the Canadian% to end the second period looked like he may have tweaked one of his legs on a butterfly save earlier in the period. Just as good a stick bringing up the tang. And now door brings it across with a new twig. Der shoots off the post. Door almost with the new twig. cross corner. Stro glides in first. Tried to move it back to the point. Waters spoon said no. Now it’s hooked up top. Ouch. Fires one and a save made by Sheilson. Look to chip ahead to Wilson. That’s taken right back by Eric Carson. Here’s Kindle flying in. Gets to the goal line and uses the wall. Malin sniffs one down low. Beautiful pass. A finish by Rust and Pittsburgh got the lead back. The power play goal. Just came into the game. It’s the second ranked power play. Eric Carlson after he turned it over to John Carlson reads John’s pass. Intercepts the puck. So the Penguins are quickly into the zone. If Kenny Malcolin’s pass is a beauty. Cross seam. This is such a difficult one-time for Brian Russ. Remember back in the first period, Bobby, he hit two goal posts. Nothing to show for his efforts in the first Russ and Kindle. His second assist for Kindle as he opened it. Crossover by shoot kick save. She loves and it’s in the corner. There he goes as we say. Heads to the bench. Extra attacker on. Shot off the outside of the net by Farraari. It is Ovetchkin. He’s the extra attacker. Empty net. Just as soon as Charlie Lindren left the crease, Conor Der had played together here. Connor Der gets to the loose puck as it comes around the boards. It’s his fourth. It was three nothing Pittsburgh. A three-goal answer by Washington, but a response by the Penguins here in the third period. Four or more go in the third straight game for the Penguins. [Music]

Bryan Rust scored his fifth goal and had three points on the night, Sidney Crosby scored twice in the first period, and the Pittsburgh Penguins took a 5-3 win over the Washington Capitals.
