Shortly before the game we learned that Ehn was drawing into the lineup for Frk, which is exciting to me. It is hard for me to pick a favorite player with a three-letter last name, but maybe I lean so slightly towards Ehn, who had a great start to the game. Early in the going Ehn was forechecking hard in the Capitals’ zone, causing the Caps to cough up the puck to a Dylan Larkin streaking from the bench, creating a decent shot.
That was just a microcosm of the early-going, which saw the Wings put up 14 shots to the Caps’ one.
