"The Capitals actually fared far better, going chance-for-chance in this game than I thought they would. While the overall five-on-five scoring chance battle was lopsided in favor of Colorado, 36-23, the Caps battled hard to stay even with high-danger chances, only losing that battle 14-12. However, a lot of that faded in the third period, which was just entirely disappointing to watch. They managed just three shots on goal in the final frame"
"Ethen Frank continues to be a bright spot in an otherwise dim winter. He was the only Capitals player to have a multi-point game (1g, 1a) and has six points (5g, 1a) in his last six games. Frank would be on pace for 23 goals and 42 points over a full 82-game schedule. He has probably earned himself a pretty nice next contract."
