Caps Grind to Remain Perfect; Down Penguins 3-2 OT

On more than a few occasions in the past few seasons, the Caps played in some ugly games. These were games in which the team seemed to lack any sense of offensive consistency or chemistry. Needless to say, these typically ended up as a mark in the loss column. Last night’s game against the Penguins had all of the makings to be one of those games. The Caps were out-shot 41-19 last night, including 18-3 in the 3rd period, where the Penguins tied the game late. They spent prolonged periods of time simply trying to get the puck on the Penguins’ side of the ice, usually only to dump it in and change lines, as they were exhausted by the furious fore-check by the Penguins.
Despite all of these factors going against them, this year’s Caps escaped with a win, albeit in the form of a 3rd consecutive OT.
