Caps PP and PK numbers have gone up nicely, faceoffs still suck

[richkrt99]

Go Caps.  I'll be late....doubt I catch up in time for posting so YUNS just get em to score as many as last game and I'm good with that.

Heard the Caps had to "make a move" to make room for Alexeyev? Who did they move?

And repeat........

[capsfanpdx]
