Caps Lose in OT on “1980’s Night” in Pittsburgh, 8-7

When the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins meet, odd things happen, usually not good for the Caps. But when the Caps took a 3-0 lead, it seemed as if the hockey demons, they would take the night off. Turns out they didn’t, as the Pens and Caps played a game unlike just about any other in this rivalry’s history.

Check back for our full recap later, but first, here’s Monday’s Plus/Minus:

Plus: Variety. Six different players had goals; 14 different players had points.

Minus: Variety. The Caps used two goaltenders. That’s one too many.
