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.
