Did Alex Ovechkin score? If anyone could do it without taking the ice, it would be Ovechkin, but no, he didn’t play today.
Plus: After the first period, the Capitals were on a pace to lose this one 9-0, and they didn’t! Mazel tov!
Minus: Where to begin…giving up a goal one minute into the game, shoddy goaltending, sloppy puck handling, undisciplined play, and simply phoning in a game (which, to be fair, was a completely understandable one to phone in, looming playoffs or not). Be better tomorrow, boys.
Our three stars:
*** Sean Monahan (1G, 1A)
** Adam Fantilli (2G)
* Jet Greaves (21 saves, first career shutout)
