John Carlson takes the ice in his first steps to returning to the Capitals. The Washington Capitals pick up a big win against the Pittsburgh Penguins to take control of the top wild card spot

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the Capitals defeat of the Pittsburgh Penguins. This game has big implications in the regard that both teams were fighting for the first wild card spot. The Caps only have two more games before the all-star break and the Caps were looking to make some progress in the metro division standings. Darcy Kuemper was dialed in andNick Backstrom got the shootout OT game winner. Later Dan talks about Evgeny Kuznetsov and his trademark shoot out move and why it baffles so many NHL goalies. To close the show Dan talks about the progress of John Carlson and how he is slowly making his way back after taking a slapshot off the face.
