It\u2019s the final #RMNBAfterDark game of this four-game road trip. Pat yourself on the back \u2014 and your sleepy pet beside you \u2014 and let\u2019s put the game on.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, the Washington Capitals take on the Anaheim Ducks, who are currently sitting in second place in the Pacific Division. The Capitals are coming off a 7-1 molly whopping of the San Jose Sharks where <a href=\"https:\/\/russianmachineneverbreaks.com\/2025\/12\/05\/alex-ovechkin-ryan-leonard-nhl-history-age-multi-goal-games-capitals\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alex Ovechkin and Ryan Leonard combined to do something that has never happened in NHL history before<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny Milano and Dylan McIlrath will be the healthy scratches for the Caps tonight. The most interesting pregame move is that retired ECHL goaltender Parker Milner <a href=\"https:\/\/russianmachineneverbreaks.com\/2025\/12\/05\/parker-milner-emergency-goalie-retired-stingrays-charlie-lindgren-injury\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">has been signed to a PTO and will be Logan Thompson\u2019s emergency backup goaltender tonight<\/a>. Santa give me what I want: a Capitals blowout so Parker gets a minute of trash time at the end of the game. He\u2019s a food critic by the way. <\/p>\n<p>Puck drop for today\u2019s game is scheduled for a little after 10:00 pm.

Wide open in front of the net. Just had to lift the puck over Husso\u2019s pad, instead he skates until he runs out of room and shoots it off the side of the net. Bewildering.<\/p>\n<p>Next shift, Radko Gudas with a big hit on Justin Sourdif as he tries to enter the offensive zone with the puck.<\/p>\n<p>            \ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n<p>                1-0 Washington Capitals<\/p>\n<p class=\"small mb-0 text-body-secondary info\">Goal: Tom Wilson (17).

Capitals go to their first power play of the night.<\/p>\n<p>Ovechkin Island is back, Ducks aren\u2019t really guarding him in the left circle.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Leonard takes a blindside hit from Jacob Trouba. He\u2019s hurting and bent over. Bleeding from the nose. <\/p>\n<p>Trouba doesn\u2019t get a penalty despite hitting Leonard directly in the head. The referees looked at the play on an iPad the entire TV timeout. Only penalty goes Jakob Chychrun for roughing at 16:04. Spencer Carbery is furious. I\u2019m furious.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/russianmachineneverbreaks.com\/2025\/12\/05\/jacob-trouba-headshot-ryan-leonard-no-penalty\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jacob Trouba doesn\u2019t receive penalty for \u2018unsuspecting, blindside headshot\u2019 on Ryan Leonard that sends Capitals rookie out of game<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Sennecke finds Gauthier in the slot, and he beats Thompson as the power play expires.<\/p>\n<p>            \ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n<p>                1-1 tie<\/p>\n<p class=\"small mb-0 text-body-secondary info\">Goal: Tom Wilson (17).
