Caps/Jackets Highlights:
My Thoughts:
*First thing is Michael Latta played his best game as a pro last night. Not only did he get in a fight, but he had two assists. The first was on a beautiful feed to Jason Chimera, the second on Karl Alzner's goal that tied the game at 3 in the third period.
*The Caps were resilient last night after giving up a two goal lead and falling down twice in the third. However, they kept plugging away and got two big points. Now the Caps sit only 6 points behind the New York Islanders and are back in 3rd in the Metro Division.
*Braden Holtby played ok last night, not one of his better games but he will be a pass because he has played very well this last 15 or so starts.
*Eric Fehr and Joel Ward both had goals in this game. They had both been quiet the last few games but had solid games last night.
*The Caps played a great first period, moving their legs and pressuring the Columbus defensemen. Again they were unable to solve Sergei Bobrovsky on the powerplay but were still able to find ways to beat him.
*This morning on Twitter it is said that Andre Burakovsky has be loaned to the Hershey Bears, Burakovsky has been out of the lineup lately. Might not be a bad idea to let him learn and play a lot for the Bears. The Bears are in Lehigh Valley Phantoms tonight, and host the Springfield Falcons on Saturday.
*Overall last night was a huge win for the Caps. Two huge point against a Metro Division opponent and now they have earn points in 7 straight games. That is a good trend going into the holidays.
Whats Next: Sat. Dec. 20, at New Jersey 7 p.m on CSN
