The Washington Capitals got to this point with a dominating performance on home ice Saturday night in Game 5. It was a contest that saw the Capitals shut down the Carolina Hurricanes en route to a badly-needed 6-0 win to regain control of the series heading into a big Game 6.
Capitals fans did a great job on Saturday at Capital One Arena. They showed a lot of love for last year’s playoff hero Devante Smith-Pelly who was called up from Hershey and made his return to the Capitals lineup for the first time since being placed on waivers.
