Plus: Aside from a few chances from Alexis Lafreniere early on, the Rangers really had nothing threatening going offensively. Really complete game from the Caps on D, holding New York to mostly perimeter shots that didn’t challenge Lindgren much.
Minus: Ovechkin didn’t score. Not even trying to be snarky here, that’s the only negative I’ve got for this one.
Key Moment:
Caps Player of the Game: Could give this to the entire team, but Charlie Lindgren gets the nod for his 4th career shutout.
Final Thoughts: Hm. So that’s what rooting for a team playing against the 2022-23 Washington Capitals felt like.
