Empty net assassin: numbers for the morning after
The Washington Capitals didn’t put out their best effort of the season against the Detroit Red Wings, but you don’t really need to do so to get a win in Motown these days. The Caps fought through a couple bad periods, eventually taking down the Wings 5-2 after a couple empty net strikes by their captain.
The Caps out-shot the Wings 34 to 27, but were out-attempted at five-on-five 45 to 38.
