The defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins came to Capital One Arena on Wednesday night, handing the Capitals their second loss in a row 3-2 in an unending cacophony of penalty whistles so shrill that I’m surely now deaf.
Here's Wednesday night's Plus/Minus:
Plus: Rookie defenseman Christian Djoos recorded a goal and an assist in his first-ever NHL game! Way to be, rook!
Minus: The Capitals’ defense desperately needs rookies like Christian Djoos to step up right the hell now, because this blue line is u-u-u-ugly.
