In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the Capitals defeat of the San Jose Sharks. The Caps needed to come from behind to take down the Sharks. The caps did it with new acquisitions and young call and far exceeded everyone's expectation as they take down the Sharks by a score of 8-3. Rasmus Sandin played a big role with his first game with the Caps. Rasmus Sandin (0-2—2) became the fourth defenseman to record multiple points in his first game with the Capitals, joining Christian Djoos (1-1—2 on Oct. 11, 2017), Mike McEwen (0-2—2 on Nov. 27, 1984) and Jean Lemieux (1-1—2 on Jan. 23, 1976).Rasmus Sandin (0-3—3) became the first defenseman to post three points in his Capitals debut and just the seventh skater to do so. Mikhail Grabovski (1-3—4 on Oct. 1, 2013) is the only skater to record more than three points in his first game with Washington.

Dan later talks about the great performance by Craig Smith who the Caps got in the trade with Boston that sent Orlov and Hathaway packing. Craig smith had two goal on the night and was most impressive.

Later Dan talks about the young call-ups in Gabe Carlsson and Vincent Iorio. Carlsson, skating in his first NHL game since April as a member of the Blue Jackets, recorded a pair of assists and a plus-3 rating in 19:00 of ice time.Iorio, meantime, skated 14:48 and notched an assist, setting up Ovechkin’s second goal.
