Capitals Power Play Panic? Carbery’s Fix, Carlson Returns & Ovechkin’s Load Management

The Washington Capitals’ power play is officially in crisis mode, ranking second-worst in the NHL at 15.5%. Head coach Spencer Carbery goes in-depth on what’s broken, why zone entries remain the Achilles’ heel, and whether personnel tweaks — including Alex Ovechkin’s usage and John Carlson’s injury absence — are the real culprits. We break down Carbery’s “goldfish mindset,” Carlson’s return to practice in a no-contact jersey, and why the playoff race in the Metropolitan Division could hinge on special teams. Is this a structural flaw or a mental reset away from turning around? Locked On Capitals dives in. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
