Carbery Sounds Alarm on Caps' Slide

Spencer Carbery calls out the Washington Capitals for massive mistakes that gift free goals to opponents as they drop their fourth straight game and sink to 12th in the East. Four points out of a playoff spot with teams ahead holding games in hand, the coach pushes for a tighter, uglier identity to match their defensive build. Ovechkin's age underscores the forward group's scoring woes, and with the deadline looming after the break, Carbery refuses to sugarcoat the season's dire stakes.
