Coming off of an emotional comeback win against one of their fiercest rivals last night, there was a very good chance that the Caps were going to take the ice for the last game before the holiday break and put in an effort that was less than inspired. Thankfully that ended up not really being the case, as the Caps played a hard-working - if not always pretty or successful - road game to wrap up their pre-Christmas schedule.
Here's Monday night's Plus/Minus:
- Plus: Scoring from the bottom six. The Caps got tallies from Michael Latta and the fourth line to open the scoring, and Jason Chimera and the third line to take the lead in the second.
