3 percent) in their last 21 games with no signs of changing the dump and chase routine with the extra man. There was a Nicklas Backstrom sighting tonight in D. C. Backstrom played his best game in weeks recording five shots and recorded the assist on Marcus Johansson's goal, which pulled the Caps to within one goal midway through the third period. Johansson has become one of the lone offensive bright spots for the Capitals with his fast and grinding style. Backstrom fed a one-timer to Johansson who drilled it past the outstretched glove of a seated Roberto Luongo, making the score 3-2 and ending Washington's scoring for the night.
Backstrom's game may have surfaced due to the fact that the Vancouver Canucks have five of Backstrom's fellow countrymen playing in their lineup. The Sedin twins, Mikael Samuelsson, Alex Edler and Jonas Andersson all hail from Backstrom's homeland of Sweden and played in tonight's game. Daniel Sedin and Edler each had two points. The Capitals have not played a 60-minute game since the Winter Classic and the players are feeling the pressure as Nicklas Backstrom said following the game, "Of course it is frustrating when you don't score as soon as you want, but at the same time you can't just use magic and push a button.

Capitals vs Canucks Prediction, Odds, Line, Pick, and Preview
For the second consecutive game the Capitals gave up goals in the first and last five minutes of the period. A questionable roughing call to the Capitals' Jason Chimera just 3:02 into the second period gave the NHL's best road power play an opportunity and they didn't take long to take advantage. Less than a minute later Canucks defenseman Christian Ehrhoff broke the 1-1 tie and the Canucks never looked back. The game-winning goal with 4:01 remaining in the second period was another lackluster effort at the blue line by Jeff Schultz and Mike Green.
Jannik Hansen poked the puck from Jason Chimera in the neutral zone and when Mike Green stepped up to hit Hansen, Jeff Schultz couldn't get back to prevent the breakaway for Sedin, who easily beat Varlamov over his blocker for the 3-1 Canucks lead. The Canucks' left wing sniper Daniel Sedin came into the game tied for third in the NHL with 25 goals. Sedin had scored seven goals in his last nine games. The Capitals continued to struggle on the power play with another oh-for performance, 0-3 to be exact. Washington is now 8-78 (9.
Capitals vs. Canucks: Date, Time, Betting Odds, Streaming, MoreWashington Capitals Mandatory Credit: Bob Frid-USA TODAY Sports The Washington Capitals continue their season long six game road trip at the Vancouver Canucks looking to bounce back from a 5-1 loss on Saturday night to the New Jersey Devils. In that 5-1 loss the Caps didn’t play terrible they just got outshined by their former net minder Vitek Vanecek in his revenge game.
Matt Hendricks scored his fifth of the year as he skated past Vancouver defenseman Alex Elder on a breakaway just 5:50 into the game to give Washington the 1-0 lead. The lead didn't last long as Edler made up for getting beat on Washington's goal, tying the game by beating Semyon Varlamov with a slap shot at the 8:15 mark of the first period. Vancouver scored the only goals in the middle period, heading to the second intermission with a two-goal lead.
Many fans even wondered if Vancouver’s loss would have an effect on them since it was their first loss in regulation since Dec. 5, a streak of 17 games. Instead of dealing Vancouver their 10th loss of the season, Washington struggled again on the power play, committed another defensive miscue leading to a late-period goal and allowed the Canucks to steal two points in a 4-2 loss. This was a game the Capitals should have won and are beginning to have many fans and media wondering just where the effort is.
