Caps Get Defensive

Washington Capitals Hockey

It was just what the doctor ordered after the disaster in Atlanta yesterday. A Capitals defense that stifled the Panthers, not even allowing a shot in the third period. It didn't hurt that the Panthers have all of a sudden forgotton how to score and were shutout for the second game in a row, but all in all it was an excellent showing for the Capitals as they killed off all four power plays for the Panthers. The Capitals are taking way too many penalities on most nights, and this could be a big problem in the playoffs agains teams that have a potent power play. Finally, for the second game in a row, neither Semin or Ovechkin scored. Watch for both to light it up in Tampa.
