After James Reimer went down with an injury on Tuesday night against the Stars, Harri Sateri was called upon to fill in between the pipes. Meanwhile, for the Caps, their usual starter (Braden Holtby) would start to lead his club. Only one net minder would finish victorious in this matchup tonight, but who would it be?
The Panthers started the game off well, pouring pressure down deep in the Capitals’ zone. You’d expect the explosive Capitals to come out with that energy, but they didn’t. The Cats capitalized on Washington’s weak play for the time being, creating scoring chances out of it.
