"The Caps had just tied the game on a beautiful passing play involving Tom Wilson and Justin Sourdif, finished by an Aliaksei Protas snipe. Dylan Strome was skating the puck through the neutral zone and once he crossed into the offensive zone, he dropped it off to Connor McMichael. McMichael then tried to instantly feed it back to Strome - unfortunately, Strome wasn't even looking and had an Ottawa player right on him, allowing the pass to be easily disrupted."
"Two Caps couldn't prevent the puck being passed to the highly talented Thomas Chabot, who skated into the slot. For a second time, two Caps couldn't stop a pass, this time to Fabian Zetterlund, who fired a one-timer past Logan Thompson. Just a lazy play all over the ice, starting with McMichael, who needs to be better at reading the situation and not making a high-risk play...especially after your team just got the late game-tying goal."
The Capitals started strong in Ottawa but tired legs in the second game of a back-to-back led to a late collapse. The team blew a two-goal lead and surrendered the winning goal with less than three minutes remaining. The Caps had just tied the game after a passing sequence involving Tom Wilson, Justin Sourdif, and Aliaksei Protas. Connor McMichael attempted an instant feed to Dylan Strome, who was screened, and the disrupted pass sent Ottawa the other way. Thomas Chabot carried the puck into the slot and set up Fabian Zetterlund for a one-timer past Logan Thompson. A conservative play could have earned at least one point. Metro Division standings remain tight as the season hits the midpoint.
