The Washington Capitals had their first game since coming off their scheduled bye week and their opponent, the New Jersey Devils very obviously did not. The rusty Caps somehow scraped out a point before falling to the Devils 4-3 in overtime.
The Devils both out-shot the Caps 32 to 19 and out-attempted them five-on-five 47 to 28. Yikes.
