Did Alex Ovechkin scored? He certainly did! And what friends are #876.

Plus: Nice to see Connor McMichael get back on the score area tonight and score a beautiful goal on an equally beautiful setup of (who else?) Pierre-Luc Dubois. Nicer to see Dylan Strome, a game removed from flipping its own speechless drought, get a few very important goals for caps.

Minus: Hard to narrow it down, between taking too many sanctions to give up too many odd man urgently not to be able to connect passports and establish offensive zone pressure-but we go with the massive momentum swing in the other that so caps going down 3-1 in the second period. Giving up a short -held goal is bad; Giving up two on the same punishment is even embarrassing.

Our three stars:
*** Josh Norris (1G, 2A)
** DYLAN STROME (2G)
* Thomas Chabot (1G, 1A)
