Capitals @ Red Wings Recap: Caps Break Down in Motor City, Lose 8-3

After putting a six-pack up on Ottawa last night, the Washington Capitals hopped on a plane and made their way to the Motor City to wrap up this back-to-back with a matchup against the Detroit Red Wings. Last night was a stellar outing for the Caps, but (spoiler alert) tonight was not!

Plus: The kids are still alright! After a great showing from the young guys last night, Hendrix Lapierre and Mike Sgarbossa kept the momentum going and scored two of Washington’s three goals.

Minus: …everything else.

Key Moment: The Capitals were only down 4-2 with time ticking down in the second period.
