We all know that the Caps have been winning recently, most recently against Pittsburgh on Monday, 4-1. But these wins aren’t coming easy. Despite the victories, the Caps are struggling in some areas and it’s a cause for concern.
The Caps have been winning because of Braden Holtby. Simple as that. Since the beginning of the month, the Caps have only had one game where they had a positive Corsi. That was the game against the Jets. Every other game, the Caps have been in the negative, the worst outings being on Dec. 3, in Montreal and on December 14 in Pittsburgh.
