WASHINGTON -- The Minnesota Wild visit the Washington Capitals Saturday night looking for their fourth straight win.
The Capitals are just looking for answers.
The reigning Presidents' Trophy winners limped home from a two-game road trip that saw them lose by scores of 6-3 in Nashville and 6-2 in Colorado. Washington (10-9-1) fell behind 2-0 in both games, one with goaltender Braden Holtby starting and once with his capable backup, Philipp Grubauer, between the pipes.
Washington fell to 5-9 when allowing the first goal of the game, and Thursday's loss was followed by a team meeting.
