"The Capitals have been playing some horrific defense lately and just getting by with some hot shooting and goaltending. The first period was another example of that, although the goaltending couldn't get them out of that one."
"Really good to see Cole Hutson leading the way offensively in the first period, scoring his second career goal and sparking other dangerous chances. Would really like to see him leaned on more instead of Rasmus Sandin and Martin Fehervary."
"Watch the absolute mess that is the Capitals trying to defend New Jersey's three goals in that period, and you'll understand why."
The New Jersey Devils secured a 7-3 victory over the Washington Capitals, extending the Capitals' losing streak. Early goals from Cody Glass and Dawson Mercer gave the Devils a lead, which was matched by the Capitals through Cole Hutson and Pierre-Luc Dubois. Dougie Hamilton and Jack Hughes added to the Devils' score, while Tom Wilson attempted to close the gap. The Capitals' defense has been criticized for poor performance, and coaching decisions regarding player pairings have raised concerns.
