Washington Capitals: Sloppy defense along with turnovers, are raising concerns throughout the city of D.C.

Did this team hit their high to early, causing them to be at their lowest right know? We don’t know, but the team has hit a funk and it’s getting ugly pretty quick.

Turnovers continue to happen in their own zone, giving opposing teams breakaway and short-handed chances, that at times leads to the first goal of the game, which seems to be a common theme right now.

The last five games, the Capitals have given the puck away 37 times. Of those five games, they only turned the puck over once last night, according to NHL.
