Plus: The grittiest grit. Despite the end score, this was essentially a one-goal game through and through. Despite getting the lead in the second period and outshooting the Canadiens throughout the game, the Capitals entered the third down a goal. But the team continued to play their physical game in the third and after a big check from Tom Wilson, Brandon Duhaime tied the game. The game-winning goal was set up nicely with a zone entry and pass from Dylan Strome. Bonus plus was that Logan Thompson was mostly solid after a scary injury last game.

Minus: The power play. Just gross. The team went 0-for-5 in the game, including an extended five-on-three in the second period.
