The Capitals returned to Canada’s capital city for the second time in a week to square off against the Senators once again. Similar to last weekend Washington was able to control play throughout and skate away with the win, this time 3 to 2.

Here’s Saturday night’s Plus/Minus:

Plus: With Matt Niskanen held out of the lineup the Capitals needed their defense, especially the younger guys, to step up and perform well on the road. It was an assignment they had no problem handling.

Minus: Late in the third period Washington yielded Ottawa a goal to draw the home team within one. On the play Dmitry Orlov, Madison Bowey, and Evgeny Kuznetsov were all caught in the corner, allowing Mark Stone space to bury his shot.

Ten more notes on the game.
