Caps/Sens Highlights:
My Thoughts:
*First things is first, the Beast was AWAKE. Braden Holtby made 38 saves and in my opinion was the reason the Caps were able to win. Holtby made save after save and the Caps were able to give him just enough goal support to secure 2 points.
*Jay Beagle is having the best season of his career. Beagle is skating and playing well along the boards, and he is pitching in with goals. He even saw time on the first line last night as well.
*Evgeny Kuznetsov was good last night, he looks more confident and made a great pass on the Beagle goal.
*Nick Backstrom continues to be on fire after he scored his 6th goal in 5 games, the goal last night would prove to be the GWG.
*Alex Ovechkin didn't score but he played his tail off. What people are failing to realize is though he is score at a decent rate, OV is a plus 6 in the plus-minus category. He was a minus last night but he had nothing to do with how the Sens scored.
*Tom Wilson is hitting a bit of a wall, he was benched a little last night. Wilson tried to make a big hit in the first period but hit the defensemen from behind. However, Trotz knows what to do when it comes to young players so I expect Wilson to bounce back.
*Overall the Caps are doing a lot of things right. First, they are getting in front of the net on a more consistent basis, as well as cycling the puck along the boards, and finally they are resilient. They are now only 6 points behind the Islanders and keep inching up. Things are going well for the Caps and it's fun to watch this team grow.
