Happy Valentine’s Day, boys and girls and babes! The Capitals were coming off a pretty brutal loss in Columbus on Tuesday to start off their road trip, and they needed a better game tonight. After allowing the first goal of the game after only two minutes, the Capitals tightened up their game and scored five unanswered goals to hand the Sharks their first regulation loss at home since November.
Here’s Thursday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: The Capitals played a full 60 minutes of hockey tonight against a team that usually plays very well at home, which is even more impressive when you consider what their last game looked like.
