Washington Capitals Report Card: Brett Connolly
Washington Capitals right wing Brett Connolly had a career year in 2018-19.
It seems like Brett Connolly always outdid himself in each of his three seasons as a member of the Washington Capitals. His third and final season on his contract before he enters the summer as an unrestricted free agent (UFA) was his best to date.
Connolly posted a career-high 46 points in 2018-19, 19 more than the previous year. Additionally, Connolly also had career-highs with 22 goals and 24 assists.
Connolly added two goals in the playoffs and although there could’ve been improvement, losing is a team effort. Even Alex Ovechkin himself, who led the Capitals in scoring, said he still could’ve played better.
