Coming off their first ever bye week the Capitals visited Detroit to faceoff against a struggling Red Wings club at Joe Louis Arena (for the final time). 65 minutes of play wasn’t enough to determine a winner but in the shootout’s fifth round Henrik Zetterberg won it for Detroit.
First up, Saturday afternoon’s Plus/Minus.
- Plus: Zach Sanford’s goal gives him two tallies in his past two NHL games. Hopefully his output and confidence grow as the regular season winds down.
- Minus: Washington was unable to get any offense going early, forcing them to chase Detroit for almost all of regulation.
