We needed the two points last night. We played well while being short handed by eight players and the Hershey kids added great energy and enthusiasm to the roster.I am grateful for the sold out building; for the loud crowd; and for the team remaining unbeaten at home.
We remain in first place in the division; 5th in the East; and are the highest goal scoring team in the East. And in case anyone hadn’t noticed, Alex Ovechkin is climbing the point leading board and is now 3rd in the NHL with 29 points and is 6th in goals scored.
I am very proud of the team being so well positioned at Thanksgiving - compared to last year - and while having played so many games on the road (13 vs. 8 at home) and being so shorthanded. Can you name one NHL team that has lost more productivity out of the lineup than us to date?
Enjoy your Turkey and trimmings today. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at the Washington Capitals and Washington Mystics.
