The Washington Capitals staked their claim to the Metropolitan Division lead on Saturday night, knocking dead the unlikely Goliath the New Jersey Devils and saying, “You see this here division? It’s ours.”
Here’s Saturday night's Plus/Minus:
Plus: The Caps got off to a much faster start tonight, dropping two early bombshells on New Jersey like waking your kids up and telling them they’re both adopted and going to military school.
Minus: Seeing Marcus Johansson on the visitors’ bench wearing enemy colors for the first time gave us feelings we’ll need to talk through in group.
