After a convincing win against the Rangers yesterday at home, the Capitals came out flying today against the Senators, but their legs just couldn’t keep up with the young, rested legs of the Ottawa Senators. This is why back to backs are such a stupid gimmick in the NHL. No reason a team should have to play a game then travel across international lines to play a rested team in their own barn, let a lone a young and skilled team like the Senators. But I digress.
Plus: The Caps played a great first period and a bit, looking to have decent legs after yesterday’s matinee at home.
