Game 2 Recap: Ovechkin Dishes, Capitals Down Hurricanes in OT, 4-3

Oh, honey, you’ve got a big storm coming.

The Capitals take a 2-0 lead to Raleigh thanks to an OT goal by Brooks Orpik. The Hurricanes challenged the Capitals after coming back to tie the game twice.

Here’s Saturday’s plus/minus:

Plus: The Capitals came out with noticeable energy after a sluggish start to Game 1, challenging the Hurricanes early with back-to-back goals.

Minus: After Michael Ferland got a match penalty for a hit to the head (sort of) on Nic Dowd, the Capitals failed to convert on the five minute man advantage.
