Were the Washington Capitals caught looking?
Looking ahead to Wednesday, that is.
Washington will host the Boston Bruins Wednesday in one of the biggest games of the season so far, a game that pits the top two teams in the NHL. First, the Capitals had to entertain a division rival sitting in seventh place, and by night’s end, it appeared to be a typical trap game.
The Columbus Blue Jackets took an early lead and skated away with a 5-2 win over the Capitals Monday, snapping Washington’s six-game winning streak.
