The last time these two teams met was back in the spring in DC, with the Caps sending the Habs packing from the playoffs in their opening-round playoff series. They renewed acquaintances, and plenty a shove, sharp word, and stick penalty, tonight in a wild one at the Bell Centre.
Plus: A second-straight game that saw the Caps score 7+ goals? Great. Having not one but TWO power play goals among those goals? Phenomenal, and kind of unheard of this season.
Minus: For most of the season, the Capitals have been one of the best defensive teams in the NHL while struggling to find goals of their own. Over the last two games, however, that script has flipped and they’ve piled on the offense but now seem unable to lock things down in their own end. Get you a man who can do both…
Caps Player of the Game: Let’s hear it for Ethen Frank, picking up his first multipoint game in the NHL with two goals and two assists! Honorable mention to Alex Ovechkin for his hat trick performance (the old man is red hot, folks) and Justin Sourdif, who somehow didn’t end up on the scoresheet but made a lot of really good plays including a game-saving…well, save late in the third.
