"The Capitals didn't have a single period in which they led in five-on-five shot attempts, scoring chances, high-danger chances, or expected goals. You don't win many of those games."
"According to MoneyPuck, they have again halved their playoff odds, now at just 3.7 percent. Time to lose out for a better draft pick, folks."
"Joel Hofer didn't have much to do, but when called upon, he was tremendous for the Blues. He stopped all 21 shots he faced, notching his sixth shutout of the season."
"The Capitals have six shots on goal at five-on-five through 40 minutes of this game. Safe to say they'll need to generate more in the third period."
