Throughout the season, we’ll check in on the Washington Capitals to see which players, positions, and/or systems are hot and who is, well, not. Today we’ll be assessing the team based on their games from February 2-9.
[Editor’s Note: Friendly reminder that this is merely meant as a look at the last week in isolation, and is not a commentary on a player or system’s overall success this season – although you can certainly see trends emerge if you read these on a weekly basis.]
Opponents: Panthers (W 6-3); Flyers (W 4-3); Utah (SOL 5-4)
