The Capitals entered Anaheim tonight as losers of three straight in regulation and in need of a victory to stop their road trip skid. Unfortunately Anaheim had other plans and extended Washington’s losing streak to four with another 5 to 2 victory tonight.
First up, Monday morning’s Plus/Minus.
- Plus: Washington will return home this morning, mercifully ending an especially difficult late season road trip.
- Minus: The Ducks scored three goals in less than five minutes in the second period to give themselves a lead the Capitals couldn’t overcome.
Ten more notes on the game:
- Kevin Shattenkirk served the first of his two game suspension after leaping into Los Angeles Kings defenseman Kevin Gravel last night.
