Thursday is Thanksgiving in the United States, and in the American capital on Wednesday there was plenty to be thankful for after the Montreal Canadiens lost their game to the Washington Capitals 6-3 at Capital One Arena.
The Capitals were thankful for the Canadiens’ play in the defensive zone, for instance. Cole Caufield was thankful his goalless drought is over. Canadiens fans were thankful the game ended.
It was a remarkable turnaround from one of the best moments from the team’s season so far, a 6-3 win over the Nashville Predators.
