Caps/Devils Highlights:
My Thoughts:
*Nate Schmidt was a healthy scratch last night. Barry Trotz said that was because he was starting to see mistakes and bad habits creep into his game. Jack Hillen would find his way back into the lineup.
*Nick Backstrom had 2 goals and an assist, Backstrom has been great this season and doesn't get enough credit for what he brings to the ice.
*Alex Ovechkin had himself a highlight reel goal, and Coach Trotz said OV could have easily had 5 goals.
*Tom Wilson was benched in the 2nd period because Coach Trotz didn't like how he was playing. Trotz wanted to recharge Wilson and he had a better 3rd period.
*Braden Holtby shut the door on the Devils completely as he continues to be strong in net. Hopefully the trend continues.
*The Hershey Bears lost 2-1 in overtime to the Springfield Falcons, the Bears only goal came from Chandler Stephenson.
*Expect to see Andre Burakovsky and Aaron Volpatti back with the Caps this week. Both of them were assigned to the Bears but Hershey Head Coach Troy Mann said last night they will both be heading back to D.C. Volpatti has yet to play in a game for the Caps this season.
Whats Next: Mon. Dec. 22 vs. Ottawa 7 p.m on CSN
