So here’s where we’re at. The Washington Capitals have lost five (5) games in a row, four of which were in regulation – meaning zero (0) points in the standings. They head to Florida to take on the Panthers, kicking off a stretch of four games in six nights against four of the best teams in the league – at least where the standings are concerned.

No problem. Nothing to worry about. Everything’s going…great.
