"Another game where the Capitals control play at five-on-five, but can't finish their chances and get smoked on special teams. I don't know if you need me to relitigate this stuff again, but they went 0-for-2 while up a man and gave up two power-play goals. I think the lack of scoring was actually the larger problem in this particular game, as I believe that if they had capitalized early, the game could have been over midway through the second period."
"Logan Thompson was also not very good. He stopped just 22 of the 27 shots he faced, allowing, per MoneyPuck, 1.01 more goals than expected. Daniil Tarasov, in net for the Panthers, made 37 stops on 40 shots and saved 0.05 more goals than expected. I also think Tarasov was far better than the numbers actually show. His rebound control was insane."
Washington lost 6-3 to Florida and has lost seven of nine games. The team controlled five-on-five play but failed to finish chances and struggled on special teams, going 0-for-2 on the power play while allowing two power-play goals. Logan Thompson stopped 22 of 27 shots and allowed 1.01 more goals than expected. Daniil Tarasov stopped 37 of 40 shots, saved 0.05 more goals than expected, and displayed strong rebound control. Rasmus Sandin had a goal and an assist with five shots, two hits, and a block while driving dominant five-on-five shot and scoring-chance differentials. Ryan Leonard fired a career-high seven shots and Tom Wilson added an assist.
