It was a clash of the titans in DC tonight as two of the top three teams in the league went head to head - and the Capitals, still missing Nicklas Backstrom, Anthony Mantha, TJ Oshie, Lars Eller, Conor Sheary, and Justin Schultz, still pulled out the win.
Plus: Kuznetsov has been great all season but tonight might have been his best game. He was a dynamo at all strengths and all zone. It’s truly remarkable the bounce back season he has having. The Capitals might not even be in a playoff position without him. It’s great to have him back
Minus: But like Kuznetsov had his best game, Trevor van Reimdsyk had his worst game.
