These teams are about even in standings.  It would be "Real Nice" (Clark) to see the Caps man up and take couple wins from them.

Shame, Blues score

[Mickstix]

Killed off the double minor then gave up the double deflection.

1 to 1 after one

[Mickstix]

Anyone ever really paid attention to a Kuznetsov faceoff? So low key, low energy. Then watch Dowd. I never really pay attention to the technique, just who wins it. If tonight is how Kuzy always handles them, it's no wonder he rarely wins one.

Aubé-Kubel gets credit for that goal, because he was the last Cap to touch it

GOOOAAALLLL

OSHIE
