After another dominant victory, this time over the Devils on the road, the Capitals returned home to play a Saturday matinee with the Calgary Flames.
The Flames jumped out to an early 3-0 lead but the Capitals came back to force an extra frame. The ferocious comeback just couldn’t get all the way there as they dropped the overtime decision.
