NHL Highlights | Blue Jackets vs. Capitals – December 7, 2025

separating these teams in a hotly contested Metro Division. Capitals in the red sweaters, their third uniform. The gone to a big lead in the first, in the second, and in the third, they ended up losing 76 and OT. Roy towards the cage deflection. A good stop for Greavves for a tester against Greavves. Matt Roy had three assists in the win at San Jose. He’s got six helpers in the last six games. And Greavves does it again. Stone Cole robbing Alexe Pro. Teams generating shots off faceoffs. And here you see why. Lot of different rotations, a lot of different looks. Too wide open. Missed assignments defensively for Columbus. And it doesn’t cost him at the end of the line. None other than Jet Greavves coming up with a real good save early. There’s a win for Stro. Curl it to Chicken. Snap shot. Pad save. Greavves. Coyle will reverse. Denton Matechuk has it for the Blue Jackets. Mateuk has goals in both games against the Caps this season. Great wins at the dock so far for the Caps offensively and they come into this game lower than Columbus when it comes to faceoff of effectiveness. Columbus comes in at about 50%. The Caps right around 48. Real good start in the offensive zone for the Caps. Mate Chuck towards a goal. snatched out of the air by Logan Thompson. One last get together after tonight. It’s the very end of the regular season in Ohio. Vanilli to the front. Archenko curls a pass there for Verona. Powerful winger leads out of the corner. Marenko off of a fancy curling drag. Not going to beat Sandine. Long rster blocked in front. Rebound loose. Swap pass. Marenko as Thompson gets back to the pipe. It’s a deep send out for Czech and he’ll breeze through center. Jacob Chikin for Tom Wilson. Cross ice to Roy. Fire as Breeze gets the blocker up in time. That was a great play by Pro down low by the way starting that breakout and finding Chin at full tilt that led to that scoring chance at the end of the line off Greakov marching through center. Send it out there wide for a snap shot. Thompson challenged beautifully. jumping out on the angle against Luca Delbell Valoo 65 in the white 76 games. Must be feeling it here tonight afternoon against Florida. That was tremendous speed. Two on two. Ovetskin closing. Fires love save. Greavves at the point. It’s Roy connecting with Stro Faravari to the goal. Greens jumps in front of that as the white jersey jackets will clear. It’s Charlie Coyle putting it back on the Washington side of center. Both teams changing personnel on the go. Pretty casual first nine minutes in DC. It’s the cycle involved for Cher. He was poke check by Marenko. Justin Sort of will send down low as the Caps blood this time. Great pass. Wilson jammed it wide. Tom Wilson. Four in the scrum to the left of Brees. Columbus has the biscuit on the fly. Working in Chinikov. Send it out wide. Thompson makes a stick save at the doorstep. And we played hard. We played great. He thought it’s a head coach. Dean Everson, former Cap’s assistant coach. Johnson fires. A stick save for Thompson. As the five on five play continues, who have not had a penalty call to this point in the game. I think Columbus wants to make sure they don’t take any after the way they’ve been really handled well on the PK. Johnson, why not from 64 ft? Gloved down by Logan Thompson. Oilier in charge now for the Cavs. 755 in the opening period separating us from intermission live. Alexa Landis Alame Brent Johnson tonight for you on Monumental Sports Network. Matuk answered by Thompson. He’ll hold game here to home. Not that’s what they had on the road. It was all about checking, not missing assignments, being tough defensively. That’s why they won what they did. Well, Villier one-handed the net. Stopped by Greavves. And then Dow ran back in the year 2000. They’ve had a tough time against the Caps the last five seasons. They to have just four wins in 17 tries against the guys clad and red. To stand as a goal for the Florida Panthers. Panthers winning that one very late in OT. Vanilli on the feed for Baronov. Then Marenko backhands it into the corner. He was trying to backhand actually a pass to Fanty and that made him really mess up that play. He should have shot the puck. Instead, he was trying to be too cutesy with it. That worked into the favor of the Caps. Alexkin lurking there. Poke check by Gre right up the gut. Kick save. Old school style from Jet. available with $1 minimum purchase the next day on the McDonald’s app. Mcichael drops it. Long range kick out there for Greavves making that save on Math. Good play by Mackar. That looked like that puck was coming outside the blue line. Just able to trap it in time. 30 seconds. Oh, that’s good. The 179 and three mark for the Caps. They sit at top the Metro Division as the second period is off and running. And both coaches really deployed the team very Mlin Celbrini a goal and two assists. That was Celbrini’s 100th goal of his career. Well, Villier working on the outside on the interchange. There’s Wilson. One time score. Jacob Chan blast beautifully set up as the Capitals rotated from up high to down low. And then Chickan finds some soft areas there with no defenders. And right off the get-go, there’s the slapper. We usually remark about his wrist shot. Well, this is the oldtime slap shot. Low back swing beats Greavves to the right side. Excellent shot by Dylan Stro just yet. Fabro looks cross ice. Smith towards a cage. That’s swallowed up by Logan Thompson. It rolls all the way to Van Reamed. Bollier towards the cage. Blocked. Monahan didn’t clear. Reeves gets an arm up and makes a good stop. AV power play for Washington. Ethan Frank is subbing in for an injured Ryan Leonard. Leonard clobbered by Jacob Trouba in Anaheim. I don’t want to dump it in. Let me regroup and see if we can generate some speed. Fanty will clear it. Rolling right to the doorstep of Logan Thompson. Vervari flushed out by Fanti. Stro will continue the thrust through center. Matechuck first on it for the Blue Jackets. He’ll reverse. Severson and Mate. They find Van Tilly on the flank and he’ll drive it in right to Logan Thompson. Turns the cage. Sets it for Van Reight. Henrik Laierre with room. Lets it go. Bad save. Green. That’s a good little shake and bake by Lapierre to open up the lane and not allow the blocker to get a piece of it. That hit Greavves dead on through the screen. He reacted late there drive that floated towards him. Hay was right in his eyesight. He picked it up late and it wasn’t that hard. So, he’s able to recover with the catching glove. Winding it back up. Mareth on the send here just on the outside of the goal. Leierre, if you say so, I’ll believe it. Leierre foiled there. Wilson relieving Lorensky of the puck. Twoon one down low to the slot area. Kick out save. Rebounds loose. It belongs to the Blue Jacket. Able to keep that out of the net. Graves saves counter up to 21. Make it 22 with that kick out on Chick. Drops Mcichel. Smart looking entry there, but Bilier was ripped off by Cylinger. Twoonone short-handed. Cylinger curling drag. Great stop by Thompson. Next goal for Washington. Five games in eight nights for the Capitals. 15 games in the last 27 days. Tomorrow starts a three-day rest, but Monahan is in the high slot. They work for Fantelli. There’s a backhand chance. Sprawling stop. Rebound loose. Followup. Thompson recovers and he’s got it. Reloaded for who has the game’s only goal tonight. It came early in the second period. in an even strength. Frank pass it down low. Wilson kick out save. Greavves doorstep. Caps are signaling that it was in. The wash out has been made immediately by the referee. That’s what I heard. Here it is down low. Dylan to Tom Wilson right in front of the net. There he gets a little sl whack at it. And there he is kicking it back out. And it did not ricochet off the goal. Snap shot off the front foot. Blocked. Chopped down to the ice. Not cleared yet. Vantilly again. Proous has it. Gets past Warky. Alexe Pro driving wide. Bullseye here. Great hustle along the wall. Good pressure there on Fantelli. That little poke of the puck around Wretky. And then it’s the layup in front of the net. He’s not going to mess miss those. Look very calm and cool when he gets to the puck. Hoping the referee gets out of the way and he does. Ovetkin looking to cleans. Shut out Logan Thompson. This one’s in the books. Two nothing. Career shut out number seven for LT.

Logan Thompson stopped all 39 shots he faced, Jakob Chychrun scored his 11th goal of the season, and the Washington Capitals blanked the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-0.
