Plus: Connor McDavid’s lead on the “Best Connor Mc– in the League” title just got a lot smaller.
Minus: After a hot start, Florida was able to tilt the ice in their favor throughout.
Key Moment:
Caps Player of the Game: This was a statement game from Connor McMichael, who did a lot to inspire confidence in how effective he can be playing his natural position.
Final Thoughts: This team’s path back to the playoffs hinged a lot on how much secondary scoring they could get from less established players, which they’ve enjoyed a lot of throughout (especially tonight). Their established top-line players put up strong underlying numbers tonight, but I think it’s fair to at least be a little antsy about their lack of production so far.
