Two Steps Forward – One Step Back

We played very well last night. We got two points but Carolina tied the score in regulation on a funky goal and also got a point. So we are now four points behind them with five games left to play and with one game against them next Tuesday night. Carolina’s first goal was also a gift off of Boyd Gordon’s skate.

Carolina’s first goal was also a gift off of Boyd Gordon’s skate. Boston and Philadelphia also won last night so we didn’t gain ground on them although we did put a little bit of distance between Buffalo and Florida and us. Congratulations to Alex Ovechkin for scoring his 61st goal of the season, a new Caps record for goals scored. I thought our team was sharp and focused last night. Two more games on the road this week and then we come home for the last home stand. I am hopeful we can have three sellouts to end up the season, too.
