Did Alex Ovechkin score? Nope.

Plus: After a slow start, the Caps not only found their legs late in the first but got stronger as the game went on, taking control of the action and even picking up two shorthanded goals.

Minus: That slow start, though… really didn’t like that first goal in particular, which Logan Thompson clearly knew he should have had.

Our three stars:
*** Taylor Raddysh (1G)
** Tom Wilson (1G, 1A)
* Aliaksei Protas (2G, 1A)
