On Friday the 13th Washington faced the undefeated New Jersey Devils and served them their first loss of the young season. Behind strong offensive nights from key personnel Washington walked out of the Devil’s den with two points.
Here’s Friday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: Nicklas Backstrom had a four point night (1G 3A), his first since March 18th of last year against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Minus: Seeing Marcus Johansson in New Jersey’s colors will never be normal. It was good to see the seven season Washington forward again, though.
Eleven more notes on the game.
The Capitals will travel to play the Flyers Saturday night and potentially without Niskanen. He will be evaluated tomorrow alongside the team in Philadelphia.
