Capitals’ Third Defense Pair Is a Weak Link

Related Topics: Taylor Chorney, Aaron Ness

The Caps defense, specifically the third pair, have been a weak link so far this season.

These defenseman are Taylor Chorney and Aaron Ness. I am leaving Christian Djoos off the list as he just made his debut. Ness is averaging 10:43 time on ice and Chorney is averaging 13:32 so far this season. To compare, Brooks Orpik is averaging 22:02. All per hockeyreference.com

Last night, it seemed like the coaching staff benched Ness and it seemed like the coaching staff broke up the pairing of Ness and Djoos.
