NHL Highlights | Capitals vs. Red Wings – December 21, 2025

sweaters. Red Wings trying to gain some traction on the second portion of back to backs. Just one and five this season. Caps are 32 and one in the same circumstances. Watch Pavilier up high. Sherro put his body into his man’s side of the goal and a save. Oh, SQUIRT IT FREE. THAT GOT TAPPED AWAY BY LEONARD DEFENSIVELY. John Leonard just saved a goal. Only duel in the league to have that. You have to go back to Colorado 1920 season for two of those. Pavo Franc and Michael Hutchinson. That gets shot right into the belly. James John Leonard laid one over. Hamnick centering feed and a chance there for Cob as well to help him fan on. >> That could very well be because you normally don’t fan on something like opportunities like that. >> Nice spin back out front by 100 foot wraparound. Pomper whacked at it. Loose puck off the side of the blocker. >> Picked up by Boilier. Turning there on Sandine Pelica who stayed with him and a backhand shot and a save by Tel. Bilia’s got the quick feet going today. Boy. >> Baravar chased by Van Reinsteike. Made the pass for Dow. They went for Frank Carlson. Laid one through here for Braavilier. A save. Talba. Didn’t know where it was. Didn’t get out, but he made the first stop. Here’s Farravari. The defenseman wraparound try. Stopped there by Tel’s going to get on those points quicker. Too much time. And a switch off manto man. >> What a reverse this is, Mick of 24 hours ago. 7-1 shots Washington again. Yesterday in Washington at the end of the first period it was 17-6 for Detroit. >> You knew it was coming. They’re a darn good hockey club. I >> think Todd McClullen sensed it was coming too. He knew they’d be better. >> That gets stolen off Talbbert INTO THE SLOT. OH, HE WAS DOWN BUT NOT OUT. HE MADE THE SAVE. HE’S SWIMMING AND THE PUCK COMES to the near side. Move for Edmonson. Finny Larkin cuts back with it. That gets knocked away. Edmonson. Obito. Vetkin to it. Who goes for a change? Edmonson. Nice feed. Raymond. Save made. So they really miss him down the middle. They’re missing two of their top nine including Ryan Leonard. Is Washington. >> Leonard hit by a Trou hit right in for Frank. He scores. >> Okay. >> Ethan Frank makes it one to nothing. >> Blown tire on the play. It’s Johansson who tripped right there. And a nice move to go to the backand tuck it. It looked like five hole. And there’s the the fall down by Johansson. Yeah, that’s five hole and a one nothing Hamick. He’ll head up ice. Dropped back by Appleton for Elmer Soderblam. SAVE MADE. PUCK LOOSE. The >> NHL schedule gets a little tough, but Obie said he’s going to try. >> Hope so. Elmer Sodblum is hurt here from Sergey Karov on the first intermission there. Red Wings need to get a hold of this puck. >> Yeah, >> not easy. Cotus put it toward the goal and that’ll be held and then lost an edge and went down as Roy gets the puck back and brings it to center. Threeon two for Washington. Joining late is Chron. There’s the pass across and a save made there off of Matt Roy. Friends and family here for him. Long shot in, kept alive for Edmonson for Debrink. Catching it, bringing it. Here comes Coff. SAVE MADE REBOUND. SIDERS is there. Oh, stick just got lifted. KEPT IN BY EDMONSON. SHOT. OH, AND A SAVE on a redirect. >> This was really well executed to Baville to get that chance. And that I couldn’t see whether he got a piece of that or not, but I don’t know. The clock was running out. Sider got hooked right as he went to shoot it. No response there. And then I think I don’t think this would have counted anyway, but nonetheless, a mad scramble at the end, a non-goal for Washington at the other end. And Detroit probably feeling, you know, >> her son James Van Remsteike obviously a member of the Detroit Red Wings. >> We’ll get with her in just a second, Ken. >> All right. And we will get back to you as the second period is underway. 2012. Mush Nenko with that one. Oh, and a good save there. First of the game for Detroit. Washington’s had one. >> Here’s Cider. Goal post. Rebound just went wide. >> Is Cider with the 20 points. >> Partial Unic gets switched up here as Danielson gets ridden to the board. Picked up by Finny for Sandine Pelica. Here’s Raymond SHOOTING. SCORES. BOY, THAT WAS OUT the boat. You can hear that baby. Here’s Sandy Pelica on his backhand. Right hand shot on the left defense. He’s got to pull that off the boards. And this may have deflected off a stick way high in the slot and beats Lingren. He’s been solid today to tie this game at one. Raymond’s seventh goal, his 26th point the past 22 games. >> Yeah, that’s what you think when you don’t get your two minutes served. Oh boy. >> He was an offseason acquisition, one of only three on the opening night roster who didn’t play last season with Washington. >> Nice job, Leonard right there. Two caps around it. >> Here’s De Brinka. >> SCORES. IT FOUND ITS WAY. Leonard went to the net >> the play at center ice with two caps on him a few moments before he was able to retain possession and get the puck in to allow this play to even begin to happen. There’s a beginning and there’s an end. The end was the puck at the back of the net. Aravar had sent it in. Travis Hamick tipped by Appleton on for Danielson. Soder blonde to the net. Spencer Carbury switched up his center today. Normally Dylan Stro who’s had uh upwards of 30 in that situation. Uh and Alex, no doesn’t Gibbs. No, I was fast though. But I played football with buddies, but not >> SAVE RIGHT IN FRONT. CLEARED AWAY. >> What a Back in for Raymond. Out of the glove and then just went wide. Wraparound try. Oh, and it still stayed out as Raymond stayed with it. Getting it back from Chickley who heads for a change as Stro brings it in able to find Carlson. Loose for Frank. HE SCORES THROUGH THE LEGS AGAIN. WOW. >> Two in the same place on Telbot and we’re tied at two. Carlson that made the play. There were two Red Wings there. Frank was just the the trailer that picked up the loose change and there’s no He came right off the bench. Nobody >> checked on the way back was McI. Lead pass is in. Danielson. Save made by Lindren. Come on turning with it. Mcichel Oetkin. >> Raymond shooting and it’s blocked. >> So 22. We’re going to three on three overtime. Each team gets a very much needed point. >> That’s right. Larkin and Raymond and Cider Proise and Strowman and Carlson. >> Oh, this is so dicey. The threeon-ree stuff. >> Washington’s won one in threeon-ree play. They’re one and0. Red Wings two and one. Larkin and De Brinket. The goal >> for the late guy. >> Here’s Prous. Shot blocked by Cider. Another shot in front. Picked up here. Oh, Larkin was hooked a little bit. Larkens away to the races. There’s a penalty coming here. Larkin in ON GOAL. HE CAN END IT. OH, AND HE CAN’T DO THAT. But there will be a power play. >> Larkin went to his left. >> Washington number 17. >> There’s the hook. Oh boy. There’s the penalty. >> He might have got the >> It’s Finny. THERE IT IS. JUST TOO FAR FOR HIM. Around for Cop. He’s got Cider. Goes there. FIRES. SCORE. OH, game winner. Oh, Snider Fred Wings take it. Three to two. Hey, buddy. There’s a look at it. What a what a That’s just a cannon. Holy smoke. What a setup by Cop. Bang. Bang. Washington tired.
