The Caps have been on a pretty decent run of late, and have been a strong road team overall this season…neither of those things was on display tonight in Winnipeg, however, as they seemed unprepared to play hockey from the opening faceoff on, from the goalie to the forwards. Thus endeth a nine-game point streak, in embarrassing fashion.
Plus: The Caps busted up Connor Hellebuyck’s shutout in his return with a power-play goal on the two-man advantage late in the third.
Minus: Basically everything about this one was bad. Turnovers were rampant, Logan Thompson didn’t seem sharp, and the Caps barely mustered an attack on a goalie who was returning from missing the last several weeks.
