My Thoughts:
*Braden Holtby was very good last night earning the shutout with 22 saves. I think that he has looked very comfortable in the crease this week. Hopefully he can get into a groove before the postseason starts as he hit a bit of a rut. However, he does appear to be working himself out of it.
*The Caps did have chances to win the game in regulation as they missed on a couple of power play opportunities. Also Jay Beagle and Evgeny Kuznetsov rang a couple of shots off the posts.
*In overtime John Carlson was able to score his 7th goal of the season on a one timer from Jason Chimera. Carlson looked to be his old self in his return last night. Marcus Johansson had the secondary assist.
*T.J Oshie was out last night as he is dealing with with the flu bug. It is unclear if he will play tonight against the Blues.
*Overall last nights game was very tough to watch as it was such a defensive minded game, and the Devils just had no punch and that's why they will end up on the outside of the playoffs. The Caps played a solid game just didn't score until overtime. With the win the Caps are 1 point away from clinching their second President's Trophy in team history.
What's Next: Tonight Mar. 26th vs. St. Louis 7:00 p.m on CSN
