The Caps played a fine road game for 40 minutes, but a pair of goals 27 seconds apart as part of a three-goal third period spoiled what was a game the Caps were dominating in possession.
Check back for our full recap later, but first, here's Saturday night's Plus/Minus:
- Plus: Method. Well, for two periods, anyway. Until that lighting followed by thunder for the Coyotes in the third period, the Caps dominated possession. More often than not, that will pay dividends.
- Minus: Posts. The Caps rang iron five times without a goal against Colorado on Friday without any finding the back of the net, and they hit iron twice in the third period without getting the lucky bounce in this contest.
