Capitals vs. Wild Recap: Wilson Returns and Washington Wins

Brad Rempel-USA TODAY SportsBeginning a four game road trip in Minnesota the Capitals looked to rebound from a disappointing loss to the Coyotes on Sunday. Against the Wild Washington’s offense returned to form and powered the Capitals to a convincing 5 to 2 victory.

Here’s Tuesday night’s Plus/Minus:

Plus: Washington improved its record to 6-1 when scoring the first goal of a game. Despite recent struggles this team remains dominant when starting off on the right foot.

Minus: The Capitals went without a power play goal once again. After starting the season as one of the best man advantage teams Washington has cooled off considerably to start November.
