The Capitals had a sleepy first period, which is to say they played basically even with a -23 goal differential, and are a matching 23 games back in standing points. The Sabres though took the lead and head to the break up 1-0 on Victor Olofsson’s 20th goal of the year.
If you’re looking for some defensive inspiration in the break, did you know we have a pretty good Twitter, and Nick Jensen has been a pretty good defenseman of late?
Right this way to the second period…
