An injury-riddled Washington Capitals squad having been held out of the win column in three of their last four contests took it on the road for their only visit to the Motor City this season, but fell by the final score of 2-1.
Here’s Thursday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: Alex Ovechkin’s march to the top of yet another all-time great list continued as he tallied his 786th goal and tied Gordie Howe for the most career goals with one single franchise.
Minus: The loss dropped Washington’s road record on the year to a meager 2-3-1 through six games.
