It seems like it’s been months since the Caps last played before the All-Star Break. The good news prior to the game was Alex Ovechkin returning to the lineup after missing the game against Edmonton, and the defense in tact for the first time in a while. Despite those positives, it ended up being another tough night for the guys who couldn’t put it all together for a win.

Plus: The penalty killers did a great job of creating chances for themselves…

Minus: …but they didn’t score on any of them, and then allowed essentially three goals from the third-worst power play in the league.

A few more notes on the game:

Up Next: The Capitals head north of border to take on the Montreal Canadiens without their captain, as he’ll have to sit out due to Canadian COVID rules.
