"The Caps seemed to struggle to find their legs again tonight after a few days off, especially when faced with the speedy, obnoxiously relentless attack of the visiting Hurricanes. That they managed to grab a point is a plus, and they played better toward the end of the game, but they're probably not going to be happy with that performance overall. Plus: Some very impressive individual performances from Nic Dowd, Justin Sourdif and Rasmus Sandin."
"The Caps can't hang on and fall in the shootout to division rival Carolina. Minus: Carolina is built around throwing everything at the net and dominating possession, which they did throughout the night. They largely controlled play through the first 40 minutes. Caps Player of the Game: The shootout loss hurts, but Logan Thompson gets it tonight with a 37-save outing."
