Coming off a very exciting weekend where the Caps scored 15 goals, it came as no real surprise that they would put up a dud against a middling Western Conference team. Ultimately a slow start doomed the Caps, but they didn’t give up and if they had any shooting luck left over from the weekend they would have probably made another come back win (they are tied for most in the league).
The first goal against was an unlucky bounce that hit off a few things, eventually ending with a Flames player arguably kicking it into the net.
