Did Alex Ovechkin score? Nope.

Plus: This continues to be the year of Connor McMichael—he scored twice and now has a team-high 12 goals on the season. Per Caps PR, tonight was McMichael’s fourth multi-goal performance in 16 games this season. In the first 155 games of his NHL career before this season began, he had just two multi-goal games.

Minus: After blocking a shot earlier, Brandon Duhaime went down the tunnel in the third and did not return. Also, while recapping tonight’s game, I saw Mike Tyson’s bare ass.

Our Three Stars:
*** Tom Wilson
** Pierre-Luc Dubois
* Connor McMichael
