The Capitals traveled to Florida looking to snap a three game skid and avoid their first four game slide of the season. The Panthers were not up to the task tonight, unable to keep up with Washington’s offense in a 4 to 2 Capitals victory.
Here’s Thursday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: Alex Ovechkin picked up a secondary assist on Nicklas Backstrom’s goal giving the Great Eight his 500th career assist. Fittingly, Ovechkin and Backstrom are the only players in franchise history to register 500 assists in Capitals colors.
Minus: Who is Denis Malgin? The Panthers rookie tallied two against Braden Holtby.
Ten more notes on the game.
Coming off the win Washington will be off until January 31st for the All-Star break.
