Capitals vs. Sharks | NHL Highlights | December 03, 2025

for the third time twice, of course, last year in 
Morski’s first year behind the bench. This is the third year that Carbury has been the head coach 
of the Capitals. We are underway. Also scratched just ahead of the game. Here’s a twoon one. 
Mcichael for Washington to Wilson and a save by Asterov as the sizzling hot Tom Wilson gets a 
great a chance on an oddman run. Ahead. San Jose Sharks get caught a little bit too deep in the 
zone. And it’s only a few feet and this is what Washington can do. And what a shot. Trevor Van 
Reike leaves it. Now it’s played by Mcichael to the defenseman. Prot’s shot that was blocked in 
front. Might have hit Wilson. Not sure if Baserov got it. Early work here, Drew. And this is what 
the Washington Capitals do where they get five men rolling in that def in that offensive zone. 
You got to try to fight off their traffic in the middle. And right from the net, big Tom Wilson 
from saved by Lindred. And here come the Caps and a break. Anthony Boilier in saved by Ascarov. 
Back again. Line and Boilier’s off. He got a goal last night. Comes in Ascarov. Look how far Asgro 
is. Now Celbrini that’s blocked by Farberry. Smith back from Lenberg. Clingberg. Celbrini. The catch, 
the move, the shot. And Lindren got the blocker up on that. It was labeled top corner. His success 
rate on zone entries is amazing. Here he gets the chance. He fakes like he’s going past and he 
wants to go short side. Back to Weberg. He’ll rim high to this side with awaiting celebrating. 
Pressure from Nick Town. Macklin on the back end. Ekan the drive. The save by Lindren. Couldn’t 
get that third shot on net, but he’ll get a look here. Traide. Oh, Lindred. What a save there off 
of Barkley. Good row. Good help to get that. And after that, because he won the draw, this flurry 
starts. And check out the traffic in front. He’s almost able to one time that, but he’s keeps it 
in. Ouchin on the ice as Roy coast down the wing. There’s an Ascarov save and another one back 
to the net and Ovkin scores on the rebound. 13th goal of the year. Just a big flurry 
by the net. Just a simple shot to the net. Rebounds there. Sharks have it for a second but 
can’t clear it. And I think it’s Roy who when he when the puck comes back out, he gets 
back to position. Yeah, right there. So, as the defenseman coming in, he gets back 
to position after the original shot. just bangs it towards the net and Alex Ouchkin is 
able to get the goal. Yaruslav Ascarov doing everything. Puck was just bouncing all over the 
place. Career goal 900. Alexander Ouchkin broke Wayne Gretzky’s record of 894 back in April. 
Here’s Van Reike for Washington. Chisum with a chance. They score. Milano finishing 
it off. Two quick ones for Washington. keep moving puck away from traffic, right? They 
get the puck back to the point. You talked about their offensive defenseman. Come in, get the 
chance on net, and they just keep firing away. One, two bodies in front, but then everybody’s 
worried about the guy in front. Here comes Milano. Smart timing by Milano. You again have there. A 
really good play by in the crease. He is in the blue paint. He’s not getting pushed in there by 
Barkley. Good row. He’s definitely interfered. Look at Ascarov. Tries to get across it. After 
video review, it’s determined that there was no goalender interference. We have a good call on 
the ice. And Wilson lost it there. Now a race to the puck. Should have been an interference 
call there, but Graph gets to it anyway. Across and the save made by Lindren. Off to Landrea. 
Brandon Du Hayes, former Minnesota Wild player. He’s got it back to the point and Remsteike 
saved by Astro. Rebound they score again. Ryan Leonard and it’s three nothing 
Washington. Rebound opportunity and it is again nice job on the for check. Leonard 
gets in there first and the guy gets in front. There’s another with more contact on Ascarov 
and then Leonard scoops up the rebound, gets in, throws a good nice little elbow on Iorio. 
The shot comes to the point and Leonard after getting to the puck first. First touch on 
the forche. So important. He works back to the front. Iorio doesn’t recover. There is a little 
bit of contact again. And then Leonard Smart, he holds on for a second. Shark’s 
second power play of the period at the front of the net. A shot there. Ling got 
that one. He did. That one didn’t hit the post. Will Smith going to be shaking his head back up 
the ice after that stop by Charlie Ling. Sharks have got two posts and a great save by Ling. Now 
Eklan goes back in. Clingbird slides it across. Macklin with it. hits for will try and peel away 
from Raasmus Sandine. Celibbrini Clingberg waiting on Alam and now he’s in trouble. Clingberg and 
here’s Prous in a lone shorthanded drops it. They score. Brandon Du a shorthanded goal. It’s 
a fourgoal first period for the visitors. Make quicker decisions at the line, but on this one 
as well. Come back, come back, come back. You got to keep skating on that comeback. You got to keep 
skating. You can’t stop skating in this situation when you’re that we saw it last game. Ylav Ascarov 
is coming out of the game right now on that back check. You’ve got to keep skating. You can’t 
be gliding. You can’t stop moving your feet. And the first say this is a really 
nice play. Look how he checks over his shoulder. Really nice check over the shoulder. But Chickan gives to the rookie Leonard a shot 
with glove hand high. See him pull that in a little bit. Did you change the angle of 
the shot? Wilson for chicken. Stros net front. That one’s knocked down. Leonard bumps 
it across and they score. It’s Ovkin again. Well, certainly not the way you wanted 
to start off the period without a doubt. Really smart by Leonard. Puck’s going to 
go towards the net and gets blocked. And look at how Leonard just bumps that over. Very 
smart play by the young man and Alex Ovetkin. That’s much like Will Smith setting up on that 
side when Min Cellrini’s got the puck and the mask. Leonard up top. Roy shot wide. Back to Roy 
and now to Chron. Leonard on the wing. Across. They score. Matt Roy. A beautiful passing 
play by Washington. They got a sixth goal. That was a beautiful passing play and you cannot 
leave that much of a seam wide open. They knew that was going in. I think Dylan Stro might have 
tipped this as he’s in front. Do a push off. Looks like it. Yeah, heard it as a matter of fact. 
One touch pass across and a quick shot and yeah, there it is. Just a tip and it just rises over 
the glove. You see where the Belovich glove was. Continue to get it done. Here’s Ryan 
Leonard. He’s got a three-point game going and he walks in and scores. Wow, what 
an individual effort by rookie Ryan Leonard. come in with speed and that move through the legs, picks it 
up with his skate, fights off the check, and goes backand up top. Now, this is also kind 
of the new NHL. Timothy Lilligrin is playing puck, puck, puck the whole time. Back in the day, 
not too long ago, you would just you wouldn’t want your defenseman to turn there. You just 
want to make sure you got a ton of assistant shots. And they’ll get one here. And Lindren 
responding with a save off God. Just couldn’t pass from the scrum in front to Lindren flashing 
the left hand out. Makes a spectacular save there. Clingberg and his stick betrays him. A 
threeon one back the other way. Frank a shot, save, rebound and the Delulkovic has it. William going to work. There’s a shot and 
a rebound. Grab denied by Lindren. Joy’s having a night. Three assists. 
Here’s a breakaway for Conor Mcichael and the Dulkovich with a glove save. 
Comes right out right away. Mcichael with the stick check. Nice little poke 
check and then he just off the races. He can fly. Good skater comes in going glove 
but carries it back into Sharks territory to Foley and now God winds up and scores. Dimmitri Orlov his first goal as a shark that’ll 
ruin Lindren’s shut out bid and it’s 71. Watch I think it’s gone going to the net. So the 
big shot I’m sorry. No doesn’t touch him. Puck is in before. No that’s a goal. Good for 
Dimmitri. Puck is in before the contact is made. I like the screen. I like where it gets setting 
up. That’s a beautiful screen. A little bit of a flash or a drive by screen here. It’s It’s 
really close. It’s really quick. It’s almost instantaneous puck by and then there’s the regenda 
contact, but no contact is made until the puck is by. Yeah, that’s the best look at it. The angle 
behind it. And this is going to be the call now. Yeah. After video review is determined that 
there is no goalender interference. The big goal Washington test day and learning from 
days like this because mama said there’d be days like this and she was right. And that’s 
the end of this one as the Washington Capitals
