Capitals vs. Panthers Recap: Caps Outlast Cats in 6-3 Win
Did Alex Ovechkin score? Sadly, no, although he did grab a couple of sweet assists.
Plus: After a six-goal explosion, 13 different Caps registered at least a point in this one, including six points from the defense. That’s a nice, balanced attack.
Minus: As a fan, that first period was very fun to watch – but you have to think neither the Caps’ coaching staff nor Logan Thompson particularly liked it, as the Caps were just a little too loose (as were the Panthers, to be fair) and let Florida punch back every time they took a lead before finally taking control in the second.
Our three stars:
*** Alex Ovechkin (2A)
** Connor McMichael (1G, 1A)
