""I think we've really got to put some work in," he said. "We feel like we've got a good first unit right now that should be a good power play in the National Hockey League, but we also have some guys that are on our second unit that would love an opportunity to be on the first unit...We have to adapt and evolve."
""We were trying some new looks. At the end of the day, we've just got to be better," Tom Wilson said postgame. "I think the five, ten man group, we're out there for a reason. We have to have a positive impact on the game at the end of the day. It's as simple as that. So not good enough tonight. Now we have some film to look at, and we'll coach it up and hopefully turn it around quick and get some momentum.""
Spencer Carbery demanded work, adaptation, and accountability to revive Washington's power play, citing a solid first unit and competition for spots. The Capitals went 0-for-5 on the man advantage against Boston, including 55 seconds of five-on-three without a goal. Tom Wilson said the team tried new looks and called for better execution from the key specialists, noting the need to review film and correct issues. The power play has been uneven since Nicklas Backstrom and T.J. Oshie departed, finishing 14th last season at 23.5 percent and enduring extended scoring droughts in recent years.
