Postgame Recap: Pens 6 Caps 2

The Caps decided last night that they really didn't need to win, so they allowed 6 goals and got ran out of the building. The Pens spent most of the night in the power play, and defensive breakdowns left Braden Holtby out to dry.

My Thoughts:

*Jason Chimera score his 18th goal of the season on a weird play as Marc-Andre Fleury poke checked the puck into Jason Chimera's head and then into the net.

*Andre Burakosvky scored his 16th goal of the season on a breakaway which at the time tied the game at 2-2. It appeared the Caps had the momentum but they let the Pens get the lead back less that a minute later.

*Mike Weber was not very good last night, and he had a boarding penalty in the third period which was really uncalled for. The way the defense corp played last night really makes you miss John Carlson who is hoping to be back Friday.

*Braden Holtby didn't look great last night but I do think some of that had to do with the fact that the Pens had easy goals.

*Overall I don't have a lot to say about last night. Caps got what they deserved, and for the Caps to only get 18 shots on goal against a team that played the previous night is just ridiculous. The way the Caps played last night is concerning because guess what they will have to play tough teams in the playoffs. They better start getting into playoff mode now.
