How do you solve a problem like the Washington Capitals?
The Winnipeg Jets would have trouble with this task in the best of circumstances. On Tuesday, with injuries piling up, the Jets didn’t seem to have an answer for the Caps’ experience, depth and firepower and were trailing 2-0 heading into the third period.
But the plucky hosts rallied, getting late goals from Mark Scheifele and Adam Lowry, before losing 3-2 on Jay Beagle’s winner with 30 seconds remaining before 15,294 fans at the MTS Centre.
