The Capitals dropped their first 2016-2017 meeting with the Rangers 4-2 on Saturday despite leading 2-0 after the first period. A pair of goals by Jimmy Vesey were the Caps’ undoing, as well as - you guessed it- some spotty defense.
Here's Saturday night's Plus/Minus:
- Plus: Congrats to Lars “Bars” Eller, who got his first goal as a Capital tonight, and to Alex Ovechkin, who scored his second goal of the season continues to be more mastiff than man.
- Minus: Rough nights for Brooks Orpik and Karl Alzner, the former looking lethargic, and the latter looking downright lewd in his desire to get undressed.
