If you’re searching for a “why?” here (and won’t accept “random variance”), you’re probably gonna land on “two quality goalies.” But it’s worth noting that the Caps have scored four goals or more in each of those second games, which is surprising for a team that’s a bit long in the tooth and scoring-challenged to begin with, but, again, random variance.
