Capitals vs Flames Recap: Caps Flip the Script, Come Back to Down Flames 3-2 in the Shootout

Plus: Aside from what else is gonna be mentioned here, the penalty kill came up huge for the Caps. They held Calgary to 1 / 5 on the power play, including a third period that saw them kill 3 penalties in a row with the game tied.

Minus: Getting outshot 13-0 to start the game isn’t ideal.

Key Moment: With 11 minutes left in the second, Darcy Kuemper robbed Elias Lindholm. Less than a minute later, Connor McMichael scored his first of the year, turning what would’ve been a 3-1 lead for Calgary into a 2-2 tie that stood for the rest of regulation.
