Plus: The Washington Capitals have been struggling to get a consistently high volume of shots on goal from game to game, but they’ve managed to keep winning so it thankfully hasn’t been too noticeable. In their 3-2 win over the Oilers on Tuesday, they had just 14 shots on goal. Tonight was a significant departure from that trend—they finished their game at Climate Pledge Arena with 33 shots on goal.
