[AP Recap – Game Summary – Event Summary – WashingtonCaps.com Postgame]
As the Caps have demonstrated time and again this season, on many nights they don’t have to be at their best to bank points in the standings.
Sure, there was a lot to like in last night’s 4-3 win over Atlanta – the power play, Alex Semin‘s effort and Michal Neuvirth‘s game jump to mind – but certain problems lingered and against a better opponent, could have proven costly (then again, against a better opponent, the Caps might well have put forth a more robust effort). But on the Caps did what they had to do and end the night two points richer.
Some thoughts on the game:
And so the Caps conclude a winning homestand (3-2-0) and head to Boston (where the B’s beat down the Ducks on Thursday night) for a biggie Saturday. Winner gets Pronger?
