Postgame Recap: Caps 2 Coyotes 1 OT

 The Caps got a big win last night as Eric Fehr was the hero in overtime to give the Caps 2 big points in the standings. Here are the highlights.


Caps/Coyotes Highlights:











My Thoughts:

*The Caps had solid first period and took a 1-0 lead when Jason Chimera found Jay Beagle on a 3 on 2. Beagle would fire the puck past Mike Smith.

*The second period was not great for the Caps has they were unable to get any sustained pressure against the Coyotes and Oliver Ekman-Larsson tied the game.

*Eric Fehr would win the game in overtime after Brooks Orpik shot from the point was stopped but Fehr was there to put the rebound in.

*Braden Holtby was solid last night, the only goal he gave up was not his fault. He made saved that he needed to make.

*Tom Wilson again set the tone of the game with his hits. He has been a energizer for the Caps. Once he gets his offensive game going he has the ability to be a good power forward. Have to remember he is only 20 years old.

*The Caps powerplay was unable to score however they did a great job of having it in the Coyotes zone. They had plenty of chances just didn't go in.

*The penalty kill came up with some big kills, there was plenty of calls against the Caps. However, atleast this time the Caps where given a couple powerplays.
