There’s something about the Buffalo Sabres facing the Capitals that turns them into the best team in the league (or at least a much tougher team to play than they have any right to be). In the last 10 games against the Caps, the Sabres, consistently one of the worst teams in the NHL every season, averages 4.2 goals a game, and that trend continued as they put up an eight spot on the Caps in yesterday afternoon’s game. The game was essentially lost on two plays that looked almost identical.

Did Alex Ovechkin score? Yes. He scored goal #890. Plus: Both Jakob Chychrun and Aliaksei Protas joined some new clubs. Chychrun scored his 20th of the season and Protas scored his 30th of the season. Both new highs for the both. Minus: Caps took too many stupid penalties in which Sabres scored on two of them on. It’s fine now that they are top of the league but these are penalties that can’t happen in the playoffs. Our three stars:*** Alexander Ovechkin (1G, 2A)** Jakob Chychrun (2G)* Alex Tuch (2G)

The Red Wings must have nightmares about playing the Caps in the third period. Just less than two weeks ago, they took a 2-1 lead into the third only to see the Caps go on a four goal tear to win the game. Last night, with the game tied, the Caps again used a big final frame to win, this time adding three goals in the third period. But while the goals were great (and obviously necessary), this win doesn’t happen without a huge save that Logan Thompson made just thirty seconds into the third period.

Sunday’s afternoon game against Kraken wasn’t looking like the Capitals best. The Kraken are a mediocre team who were playing quite tired. The Caps really should have taken control of the game off the bat and never let it go. But through forty minutes it was a real back and forth with consistency issues with the Caps. In the third period, however, the Capitals finally showed up to play and with a little more than four minutes left in the game they finally broke the 2-2 tie.
