Not quite: numbers for the morning after

The Washington Capitals and Columbus Blue Jackets matched up in an enthralling, fast paced, crisp hockey match that had to use an extra period to decide a winner. Sike, this game was boring as all heck, and the Caps just slid by enough to earn a point in the 2-1 overtime loss.

The Caps out-shot the Jackets 33 to 22 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 52 to 44.

Frozen offense: Blue Jackets beat Caps 2-1

The Washington Capitals were back home for a snowy evening in the District for a date with the Columbus Blue Jackets. We got no Bob on the beat, but on Caps Kid’s Night the Blue Jackets still found a way to send the DC crowd home unhappy.

Cam Atkinson opened scoring with seemingly his 698th career goal against the Capitals alone. Both teams had nothing for you in the second. Evgeny Kuznetsov tied things up real late with the netminder pulled. Artemi Panarin with the OT winner.

Blue Jackets beat Caps 2-1 in overtime.

Good response, bad result: Stars beat Caps 2-1

The Capitals put forth a sucky effort one night ago in St. Louis, and through twenty minutes in Dallas it looked like they were due for a repeat performance. But the Caps climbed back in the final two periods, forcing the game to overtime. There they received a bad result from a very good response.

Tyler Seguin slotted one home on the power play to give the Stars an early lead. Lars Eller tied things up with a goal in the second, and we headed to the third that way. Seguin’s second goal of the night won it in overtime.

Stars beat Caps 2-1 in overtime.
