"What a battle for the Caps as their four game road trip came to an end. They ended up securing seven of eight possible points, which you'll take all day. The Caps were already missing John Carlson and were getting Justin Sourdif back after a one game absence, then they lost Ryan Leonard to a pretty dirty hit in the first period."
"Plus: The Caps were playing their third game in four days, were short handed, and lost their young stud that was on fire recently in the first period. Add to this they had to kill five penalties against the seventh best power play in the league. Even after all of that they grinded and fought hard to the end and came away with a point. That's all you can ask for in your team."
Washington earned seven of eight possible points on a four-game road trip despite a 4-3 shootout loss to Anaheim. The team was missing John Carlson, received Justin Sourdif back, and then lost Ryan Leonard to a dirty first-period hit. The Capitals never gave up the lead during regulation but conceded a goal thirteen seconds after taking a 2-1 lead and eventually lost in the shootout. Playing the third game in four days while short-handed, the team killed five penalties against the league’s seventh-best power play and grinded to secure a valuable single point. Tom Wilson scored the opening goal and asserted leadership after Leonard’s injury.
