Postgame Recap: Caps 2 Blue Jackets 1

 The Caps got back into the win column last night in front of the home fans. The Caps improve to 7-2-0 in the first 9 games of the season.







My Thoughts:


*Justin Williams was really good last night, he had a few good chances and was rewarded with a goal. Williams looks like he is getting more and more comfortable with his new teammates.


*T.J Oshie had a good game as well finishing a tic tac toe play that put the game away in the third period. He should have had two but Sergei Bobrovsky robbed him late in the first period on the power play.

*Alex Ovechkin continued his strong play with an assist on the Oshie goal.


*Nick Backstrom who is a assist machine also had another last night.


*Braden Holtby was great last night, stopping 29 of 30 shots. I like how he played because early the Caps were playing a lot in their own zone and Holtby was swallowing pucks when the Blue Jackets got shots through.

*Overall it was a tough low scoring game that the Caps were able to get two points against a Division opponent. You take everyone you get because they will make a difference come April.

*Nate Schmidt was back in the lineup and I saw some good things but I think he needs to play more to get better. We will see if he gets back in tonight or if Chorney returns.

*Michael Latta returned as well and played better, again he needs more games to get going.


What's Next: Tonight Oct. 31st at. Florida 7:00 p.m on CSN-Plus
