"What a stinker. We should have known it would be so early on, when Ryan Donato was up close and personal with Logan Thompson to score the opening goal. A pattern was established there of poor defensive coverage. The Caps allowed six high-danger chances in the first period. They got better defensively as the game wore on, but they still struggled to finish chances on attack."
"But before we wallow in that muck, let's delight in the tepid pool of Dylan Strome scoring again. With his goal tonight, he's been above a point per game since December 20, or eight games ago. His return to form is badly needed, especially since: Aliaksei Protas missed the game due to the lower-body injury, presumably the one he suffered when he crashed into the boards feet-first earlier this wee"
