Despite taking a 1-0 lead early one goal was all they could muster for the second straight game. The high flying Washington Capitals offense we knew throughout much of the season has suddenly gone quiet.
With the loss the Capitals record drops to 16-4-5, granted however, they’ve been in overtime several times throughout the season. It was their 11th time in 25 games.
Jakub Vrana got the scoring started at 2:22 with a one-timer blast from Lars Eller from the left face-off circle for his 11th goal of the season to give the Caps a 1-0 lead.
