Plus: The early returns on the Ovechkin-Strome-McMichael were positive, to say the least. The trio rocked an expected goals share over 80% while being responsible for both goals that gave Washington a point out of what looked like a hopeless endeavor for forty minutes.
Minus: Hendrix Lapierre was effectively stapled to the bench in the latter stages of the game, a less encouraging sign for a center group that really needs someone to step up in the long run.
Caps Player of the Game: Connor McMichael had taken a lot of scrutiny for his lack of production thus far.
