What was a hit or miss for the third week of the season? Read on...
This week’s games:
Hit: Special Teams
Granted, there are still reasons to be a bit concerned about the power play overall, but it did click three times on 12 chances for a perfectly respectable rate of 25%. The penalty kill, on the other hand, is giving us very little reason to be concerned as it seems to be the one area in which the Caps are consistently proficient. This week was no exception, as the shorthanded squad killed off 11 of 12 of their opponents’ extra-man opportunities.
