After a thrilling zapper against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday - a contest that teased shades of playoffs meetings to come - could the Capitals recharge their winning ways against a Minnesota Wild team desperate to make the playoffs in the West?
Here’s Friday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: Brett Connolly continues to provide much-needed secondary scoring for the Capitals. And does so with a devil-may-care panache that smacks of vintage Justin Williams.
Minus: Goal Number 50 (and for that matter, 49) continues to elude the Great Eight, Alex Ovechkin.
