The Capitals returned to action after their bye week to face the New Jersey Devils in a Metropolitan Division match up. Washington was chasing New Jersey for most of the evening but were able to tie the contest at three late. But in overtime it was the Devils’ Taylor Hall winning it early.
Here’s Thursday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: The new third line of Lars Eller, T.J. Oshie, and Brett Connolly continued their strong play, carrying Washington offense at times. Connolly led the Capitals in shots with four and goals with two.
Minus: The Devils were the quicker team all night and their speed led to offensives opportunities. Washington was outshot by their hosts 31 to 19 through regulation.
