"I spent most of Tuesday as sick as Alex Ovechkin's old mirrored visor, so I didn't watch this game live. After waking up at 4 am and medicating more than the current President, I was able to watch the win and read a lot of what was being said about it. I disagree with the common narrative that the Capitals were "bad" overall in the first period and parts of the second."
"Ethen Frank, who now has just as many goals as Ivan Demidov this season (10), was the gas and the igniter of the comeback. He scored the team's two regulation goals, giving him six points (4g, 2a) in two games against the Canadiens this season. Over a full 82-game schedule, Frank would be on pace for 23 goals and 41 points. That is tremendous value. What a player."
The Washington Capitals trailed 2-0 before rallying to tie in the third period and win 3-2 in overtime. Ethen Frank scored both regulation goals and posted six points (4g, 2a) in two games versus Montreal, projecting to a 23-goal, 41-point pace over 82 games. Rasmus Sandin assisted on all three Capitals goals, recording the third three-assist game of his career. The Capitals controlled five-on-five play with large advantages in shot attempts, scoring chances, and high-danger chances, especially in the third. The power play remains ineffective and continues to fuel criticism. Alex Ovechkin provided strong five-on-five impacts when on the ice.
