"On the day Tom Wilson and Logan Thompson were announced to join the Canadian Olympic team, Wilson led the team to a huge win for the Caps. It was a close game through out until the Caps pulled away in the third to take two very important points before they head to Ottawa tomorrow to play a rested Senators' team. Plus: The Caps didn't blow a third period lead! That's always a good sign."
"Minus: It seems like on this rough stretch of games the Caps their defensive coverage has been lacking. A bit too many times they let players get into scoring chances, like the Rangers first goal. It didn't end up costing them but something to keep an eye on. Caps Player of the Game: Tom Wilson was easily the best player of the game. A couple of big goals, big hits and a fight. On the day he was elected for the Olympic team, he was showing off as to why."
