Capitals play two of their worst periods of the season in bad loss to Blackhawks: numbers for the morning after
Briefly

from RMNB2 months ago
The Capitals had 11 shots on goal and were out-attempted 42-22 and out-chanced 19-9 through 40 minutes. Yet, they were up 2-0. In the third period, they recorded 10 shots on goal, out-attempted Chicago 25-11, and out-chanced them 15-4. They left the period with a 3-2 loss. That's hockey, baby. Sometimes, none of it makes sense. I really would not be too worried about this loss, especially with the weird travel. It was the team's fourth game in six days.

I thought Pierre-Luc Dubois was the only consistent Caps player in the entire game. He scored his fifth goal of the season and the Capitals had a 4-0 advantage in five-on-five high-danger chances with him on the ice. He's just been so good this year.

The penalty kill recovered from the goal allowed against Dallas to kill off four penalties. The power play did not bounce back, though, as they were 0-for-3 and allowed a shorthanded goal.

Jakub Vrana played just 8:10 in the loss. I think the Capitals may look to find another solution at third-line left wing at some point here soon because I'm not sure Spencer Carbery loves his current options.
