Elias Petterson was cracking jokes postgame.

"It felt good," he said about his early goal today. "I mean I scored on Demmer against Dallas but it's good to score on the other side today."

Kiefer Sherwood led all #Canucks forwards with 23:15 today.

He helped out at even-strength, on the power play, and short-handed.

This guy is earning a big raise on his next contract.

#Canucks are 3-0 to start this road trip and it hasn't been an easy schedule.

They've taken down Dallas, Chicago, and now Washington in just three days.

Impressive stuff.

That was a spirited fight.

Terrible news for the #Canucks

Quinn Hughes back to making more of his usual impact.

#Canucks outshot the Capitals 8-2 and outscored them 2-0 with their captain at 5-on-5 in that first period alone.

Best thing #Canucks can do to avenge Chytil is keep their foot on the gas and make sure they get two points today

Filip Chytil was off to a strong start this season. He was given a huge opportunity to be the 2C and scored three goals in his first five games.

Injuries always suck but I absolutely hate to see this happen to him.

I'm still holding out hope for some good news.

Tom Wilson gets no penalty for taking out Filip Chytil.

Ref called it a good hockey hit.

Filip Chytil is down.....trainer is checking on him on the ice.

#Canucks look pissed and rightfully so.

Thatcher Demko ranks 2nd among all NHL netminders in goals saved above expected.

He's first (min 2 GP) when looking at the stat per-60 per @moneypuck.bsky.social

The #Canucks are hard to beat when he plays like this.

Quinn Hughes had the hardest shot across all the NHL games last night.

His shot has come so far from when he first entered the league.

Pettersson played more than 20 mins tonight.

#Canucks

Noah Strang @noahstrang.bsky.social · 4d

There's no excuse for Elias Petterson not to play at least 18 minutes tonight.

I don't care if he hasn't scored, this team doesn't have the skill or centres for EP40 to play ~16 mins as has been.

Credit to Elias Pettersson. Had the bounce go against him in the first period but kept working. He looks like a good duo with Garland and that line has been strong tonight.

#Canucks power play looked dynamic and dangerous 👀

We've got a tie game.

EP40 with an incredible pass to Conor Garland which sets up an amazing #Canucks chance. The puck was less than an inch from going in.

Play goes the other way and the Canucks end up taking a penatly. Brutal swing.

The #Canucks most used forward in the first period...Evander Kane.

Played 6:58.
