Vasily Podkolzin to the box for interference at 3:14.<\/p>\n Justin Sourdif misses badly with a pass from behind the Oilers\u2019 net and sends it all the way down the ice to Charlie Lindgren while on the power play.

Edmonton leads in shots 9-2.<\/p>\n Fun fact:<\/p>\n The Caps 1st shot on goal against EDM came at 19:32 of the 1st, when Rasmus Sandin put a wrist shot on net from 29ft away. Aliaksei Protas then scored on the rebound \u2013 their 2nd & final shot of the period.<\/p>\n According to MNST, the Caps have never gone an entire period w\/o a shot<\/p>\n \u2014 Ian Oland (@ianoland) January 25, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n 2nd Period<\/p>\n Rasmus Sandin has not returned for the start of the period.<\/p>\n Puck is dropped.<\/p>\n Sandin returns to the bench about a minute late into the period.<\/p>\n Capitals already have two shots in the period\u2019s first 80 seconds.<\/p>\n Leon Draisaitl to the box for interference at 1:30.<\/p>\n MNST shows Sandin in pain at the bench after a shift. He\u2019s standing up at the bench because he\u2019s in too much pain to sit down.<\/p>\n Caps can\u2019t do anything on the period.<\/p>\n Bouchard sends a wrister from the point off Lindgren\u2019s glove and in. He has to have that.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n 2-1 Edmonton Oilers<\/p>\n Goal: Evan Bouchard (13). Assists: L. Draisaitl (43), C. McDavid (56).

Holy moly. You can see why they have the game\u2019s best power play currently.<\/p>\n After a great chip up the boards by Lapierre, Sourdif skates down and rips a shot from the left circle short side. Ingram was expecting Sourdif to pass. Great shot.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n 2-2 tie<\/p>\n Goal: Justin Sourdif (11). Assists: H. Lapierre (7), C. McMichael (22). Time: 6:50<\/p>\n Rasmus Sandin leaves the game and goes back down to the locker room.<\/p>\n Darnell Nurse wins a race for an icing call, but no call, he\u2019s screaming at officials and we\u2019re picking up the loud f-bombs on MNST.<\/p>\n Caps take the puck down the ice. Horrible pass by Carlson into the skates of Beauvillier, but Beauvi\u2019s shot beats Ingram five hole after the shot deflects off an Oilers leg and in. <\/p>\n Ingram is being replaced by Tristan Jarry in net.<\/p>\n Connor McDavid gets high-sticked by Matt Roy no call. <\/p>\n Appears to be a makeup call here \u2013 Caps get whistled for too many men on the ice at 16:09.<\/p>\n Hyman robbed at the goal line by Lindgren\u2019s right pad.<\/p>\n Caps kill the power play.<\/p>\n Jarry stops Ethen Frank on a breakaway. <\/p>\n Jakob Chychrun to the box for slashing Isaac Howard at 18:57.
