Last night’s win over the Stars was one of those full-team efforts – much like their victory two nights earlier over an equally tough Golden Knights team, everyone had to contribute and did so to get the two points.
There were a lot of ways in which this game ended up in the win column. The team got goals from the top-six forwards, with Tom Wilson and Dylan Strome staying hot; they also got offense from the fourth line, with Taylor Raddysh checking in with his first as a Cap. They played excellent defense against some of Dallas’s heavy hitters, with Pierre-Luc Dubois in particular earning praise for his work, got steady goaltending from Charlie Lindgren, showcased a rock-solid penalty kill, and rolled out a power play that…okay, maybe not so much with the power play.
