Last night did not go the Washington Capitals’ way, and the 5-3 final score in Minnesota made the game seem much closer than it actually was. Playing the Colorado Avalanche on the second night of a back-to-back is far from ideal, let alone playing them in Denver. Let’s see how this goes…
Plus: The Capitals weren’t shut out! Big ups to Dylan Strome, who finally got the puck past Alexandar Georgiev at 7:26 of the third for his 17th goal of the season. But wait, there’s more! He scored another goal with 2:23 to go, off a sick pass from Tom Wilson.
