Last night was one of those classic games that saw a top team massively overlook a worse team (and if you don’t think that was hella fun to type given the opponent, despite the loss, you haven’t been around here for long enough). As is usually the case in such a game, very little went right for the good guys, while the Pens were able to capitalize on their opportunities and steal two points.
While the Caps did fall in a 2-0 hole early, they clawed their way back to tie the game by the end of the second period, setting the scene for another close game between these two longtime rivals.
