The Capitals drove their win streak to five games and dropped a Metropolitan foe in the process on Tuesday. Goals from Brett Connolly, Justin Williams, and two(!) from Matt Niskanen were just what the creepy hipster Brooklyn doctor ordered. Namaste.
Here's Tuesday night's Plus/Minus:
Plus: Young Guns and Old Folks chipping in together! If I were the type of person to own a ukulele, I’d be singing feel-good songs! More on that below.
Minus: Tough to find too many on this one. John Carlson was the low water mark on defense, but a 4-2 victory is still pretty sweet grapes.
