Other Notes:
*Michael Latta had his best game as a pro last night scoring a beautiful goal on a breakaway, and then getting an assist. Latta was returning to the lineup after being a healthy scratch the last few games.
*Braden Holtby again was his dominant self again, as he was great and the only goal he gave up was a lucky bounce. Other than that he was rock solid again.
*John Carlson continues to have a great year with yet another goal which was set up by a great pass from Justin Williams.
*The Caps played a great game and were in control till Tom Wilson was given a 5 minute major after hitting shoulder to shoulder with Curtis Lazar. It was questionable because on one hand it was shoulder to shoulder and the puck was right there for Wilson to grab. I guess I can see why they may have called it because Lazar did not see the hit coming.
*After that penalty the Sens were able to cut the lead to 2-1 but the boys finished the job. The penalty killing has been very good this season and even though they gave up one goal they didn't allow the Sens to tie it.
*Overall it was a win that keeps the Caps hot and now gives them a 4 point lead over the Rangers for first in the Metro Division, and 5 up on the third place Islanders. The Caps still have two games in hand on both of those teams and are also sitting 3 points up on the Montreal Canadians for 1st place in the Eastern Conference. We will see if they can remain on a roll tomorrow night.
What's Next: Friday Dec. 18th vs. Tampa Bay 7:00 p.m on CSN
