Did Alex Ovechkin score? No
Plus: Scoring two short handed goals is a pretty big plus. The Caps have not done that since 2006 and one of those shorthanded goals was an empty netter. You’d have to go back to 2001 to find a game where the Caps scored two shorthanded goals with the goalie in net.
Minus: Now flip the special teams to the power play and you’ll get another story. The power play was hideous, getting five chances and barely creating anything at all. It’s just the beginning of the season but it’s definitely something that needs to be improved.
