Capitals vs. Predators Recap: Game-Winning Goat in Caps 3-2 Win

Did Alex Ovechkin score? Hell, he did Measure #861 comes after a beautiful pass from Dylan Strome.

Plus: Young Guns 2.0 continues to stay hot with both Connor McMichael and Aliaksei Protas scoring their eighth and fifth goals of the season respectively. It is actually the fourth time in the last five games that McMichael and Protas have had goals in the same game; the loss to Carolina was the only exception in that stretch.

Minus: Six power plays. Six. And zero goals. Yes, some of them were shortened because they overlapped with Nashville power plays, but still – 0-for-6?? Make. The. Power. Game.

Our three stars:
*** Dylan Strome (2A)
** Juuse Saros (33 saves)
* Alex Ovechkin (1G, 1A)

Planning note: While we always want to provide the best possible coverage, sometimes self-care takes precedence – so there won’t be a follow-up “How the Game Was” post on the morning of this game. We will return to our usual coverage in a few days, and appreciate your understanding.
