Plus: Since it is difficult to highlight just one positive outcome, we will stick with the general recovery. Bouncebackitude? After a shockingly lackluster game last night against the Penguins (and some sluggishness in the first frame), the Caps took this game over in the second and didn’t let up. Second game in a row against a non-rival away from home and they put in a performance like that? A huge plus.

Minus: That first period was kind of…meh.

Our three stars:
*** Logan Thompsn (24 saves, 7 straight wins to start his Caps career – franchise record)
** Dylan Strome (3 assists)
* Alex Ovechkin (2 goals)
