It’s no mistake that today’s “numbers for the morning after” post has a headline photo from warmups. That’s because warmups were the last time the Caps had a chance to win Saturday night’s 7-1 pummeling committed by the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Blackhawks out-shot the Caps 44 to 20 and out-attempted them five-on-five 56 to 37.
Doesn’t matter who’s in net for #Capitals when this happens, they’re being outshot 21-6 after 1st, attempts 29-9 & chances 14-4 in Hawks favor. Other night Wild only had 16 shots after two periods pic.twitter.com/Ic1MbifnNz
