Not much good to say about this one, folks.
Coming off an all-around performance in San Jose, the Capitals entered tonight well-positioned to leave with two points against the Ducks. Instead, they were plagued by subpar faceoff performances across the board and questionable coverage (or lack thereof) by the defense in a 5-2 loss to the second-worst team in the Pacific. Ouch.
Here’s Sunday’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: Alex Ovechkin continues puts himself in the history books as the fourth player to register ten or more 40-goal seasons. His companions? Wayne Gretzky (12), Marcel Dionne (10) and Mario Lemieux (10).
