With Connor Buddha Mohammad Jehovah Jesus Zoroaster McDavid in town, and the Capitals’ injury-riddled defense looking like cheese from Geneva, the home team still managed to get it done defensively for a 2-1 victory.
Here's Friday night's Plus/Minus:
Plus: Tonight was a night of inclusion! (More on that below) And included in that including inclusion we should include the phenomenal play of Dmitry Orlov and Evgeny Kuznetsov, too.
Minus: A few of the new call-ups still have that New Rookie Smell, and got exploited early on by Edmonton. No harm, no foul, though, and most of these kids now have the coolest experience of their lives to talk about forever.
