The Washington Capitals could not get enough offense to take down the stingy Minnesota Wild and one bad turnover on defense sealed the deal in regulation. The 2-1 loss was quite the snooze fest, especially after the Caps recent games against the Lightning.
The Wild out-shot the Caps 27 to 22.

Washington’s 2-1 loss to Minnesota was a low-key affair. Brett Connolly scored the Caps’ lone goal, his 21st of the season, in an otherwise light-on-highlights night.
But a stoppage in play in the third period gave us some levity. Helping call the game from between the benches, relentless troll and NBC Sports analyst Alan May did play-by-play for some rink maintenance.

Friday night, the Washington Capitals continued their home stand with a soiree involving their former bench boss Bruce Boudreau and his Minnesota Wild team. This was the final game of the season that the Caps will play against a Western Conference team…unless we get another Cup Final.
Jordan Greenway opened scoring for the Wild during a sleepy first period. Brett Connolly deflected home a Nick Jensen drive to tie the game at one. Luke Kunin restored the Wild lead in the third.
Wild beat Caps 2-1.

One more piece of late-breaking news for this busy Friday evening: the Washington Capitals have announced that Carl Hagelin will miss Friday’s game due to illness.
Missing Hagelin means Andre Burakovsky will be back on the third line.

The Washington Capitals will take a break from all the Eastern Conference action of late for their final game of the season against the Western Conference until a potential Stanley Cup Final. That western team is the Minnesota Wild who the Caps last saw and beat 5-2 on the road in mid November.
Puck drop for this one is at your regular 7 PM eastern. As always, you can catch all coverage of this game on NBC Sports Washington via the My Teams app on your choice streaming device. I have your recap to distract me from my March Madness bracket obsession.
