Despite doing their very best to squander a two goal cushion in the later stages of the game, the Capitals downed their Metropolitan Division foes the Flyers 5-2. The third line made its presence known throughout the game, with Brett Connolly in particular having a strong showing.
Nice for the team to get two points after a tough loss in Pittsburgh earlier this week.
Here is Thursday’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: Brett Connolly scored two goals and had one assist for his third career three point game. Great to see Conno having a career year with 19 goals and 39 points on the season – less great thinking about contract negotiations in the summer.
