"Very even first period and a good start to a road game, especially after getting demolished at Capital One Arena over the weekend. I didn't love how the last 30 seconds of the first frame went, but Logan Thompson was up to the task on a couple of really tough deflection saves. The penalty kill also looked very good. Now, the Capitals were made to use their penalty kill because the referees decided to buy two blatant dives in a row from the Stars."
"Can we talk about ESPN for a second? I think the general idea of the Frozen Frenzy stuff is quite cool, but the way they seem to have no backup plan for games that go to overtime probably isn't great. The network is very lucky that Alex Ovechkin did not score number 900 while the game was on ESPNews or in split screen with that Penguins-Flyers shootout. Also, can we get an honest listing of the puck drop time? 8:50 pm is not 8:30 pm."
The Washington Capitals traveled to Dallas and lost 1-0 to the Stars. No goals were scored in the first period. Tyler Seguin scored on a power play with an assist from Martin Fehervary. Alex Ovechkin remained without career goal 900. Logan Thompson made key deflection saves and the Capitals' penalty kill appeared effective. Multiple Stars players drew penalty kills through apparent dives, and one referee was Francis Charron. ESPN's Frozen Frenzy coverage lacked a clear overtime plan and listed an inaccurate puck-drop time, causing broadcast inconvenience. Jake Oettinger made aggressive, timely saves in goal for the Stars.
