The Capitals’ defense did not come to play Monday night, coughing up four goals to a middling Calgary squad and essentially leaving Braden Holtby out to dry all night.
Here's Monday night's Plus/Minus:
Plus: Jakub Vrana and Lars Eller showed flashes of magic together tonight, a much needed bright spot for a team that desperately needs secondary scoring.
Minus: Brooks Orpik was on-ice for 7 shots for, and 22 against. He was on the ice for 5 high-danger scoring chances against, and just 2 for.
