The last time these two teams met was back in the spring in DC, with the Caps sending the Habs packing from the playoffs in their opening-round playoff series. They renewed acquaintances, and plenty a shove, sharp word, and stick penalty, tonight in a wild one at the Bell Centre.
Plus: A second-straight game that saw the Caps score 7+ goals? Great. Having not one but TWO power play goals among those goals? Phenomenal, and kind of unheard of this season.
Minus: For most of the season, the Capitals have been one of the best defensive teams in the NHL while struggling to find goals of their own.
