Mandatory Credit: Amber Searls-Imagn ImagesIn a contest against a very tough opponent, the Caps put together what was a pretty solid defensive effort to slow down the Avs’ potent attack and hang with the best team in the league…minus a few little stumbles along the way.
Plus: The Avs’ power play is almost as bad as the Caps’ power play, but good job by the Caps’ penalty killers to make them look even worse.
