Did Alex Ovechkin score? He sure did! #873 on a very nice empty-netter…22 to go.
Plus: Huge congrats to Ethen Frank on snagging his first NHL goal, a beautiful shot to put the Caps up 2-1. Just one night after his first career point on a hustle play, Frank’s been great so far, breathing new life into the third line.
Minus: Are the Capitals allergic to shooting the puck on net these days? Sure, they’re struggling to gain possession but when they do have the puck, it’s as if they’re second-guessing themselves and looking to pass rather than just putting it on net.
