Cranberry sauce, stuffing, and a heaping helping of hockey. Put on your stretchy pants and dig in, Caps fans.
After a four-game road trip, the Capitals returned home to Washington Wednesday night to host the Chicago Blackhawks. Would the night be delicious and wonderful like jellied cranberry sauce, or disgusting and bitter like potpurri-style cranberry sauce?
Here’s Wednesday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: The Capitals have now won three games in a row, and roll into the holiday stuffed with both standings points and water chestnuts.
Minus: Injuries have caused some notable holes in Washington’s roster, which would have to be dealt with carefully against the Hawks.
