The Washington Capitals “played” a good first period against the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night, dominating possession. It was the Jets, however, taking a 1-0 lead to the locker room at the first intermission. That was as good as it got for the Caps. A distinct lack of energy doomed the Caps in the final 40 minutes as the Jets added a second period goal and an empty net tally in the final period to end the Caps’ three-game winning streak, 3-0.
Here’s Saturday night’s Plus/Minus:
- Plus: First 20 minutes. Despite Winnipeg getting the only goal of the first period, the Caps dominated, out-attempting the Jets by a 28-13 margin.
- Minus: Last 40 minutes. Whatever energy the Caps brought to this game appeared to be expended in the first 20 minutes. In the last two periods the Caps managed 44 shot attempts, but most of those were score effects late as they were trying to climb back into the game.
