Plus: The Caps are extremely shorthanded right now on the blueline, but Alex Alexeyev had a pretty decent performance for himself in his first-ever NHL postseason outing.
Minus: Giving up a goal to Matt Rempe? Matt Rempe?? Gross.
Key Moment: The three goals in just over two minutes early in the second period simply doomed the Caps and they weren’t able to recover.
Caps Player of the Game: Giving this one to a combo of Aliaksei Protas and Alexeyev, both of whom were noticeable in a (mostly) good way today.
