The first game of the 2015-16 season started off strongly for the Caps... but a goal given up immediately after going up by two let the Devils back into a game that should've been well in hand.
As we're sure you're all aware, the Washington Capitals started off their 2015-16 NHL Season with a win over the New Jersey Devils over the weekend - but while the final score may have looked comfortable, most of the game was tightly contested (that is, until Alex Ovechkin woke up).
One troubling aspect of the Caps' play, one that has existed seemingly for all of Ovechkin's career, was their inability to maintain focus and discipline in the face of a multi-goal lead.
