The classic pattern for the Caps this season. A two goal first period lead that turned into a 2-1 lead by the end of the second. Almost comforting. Nick Backstrom, however, turned the game around with a pair of third period goals including a quickie at the start of the period.
But let's be honest - this game could well have gone either way except for some spotty goaltending by Ottawa's LeClaire. He made some big saves in the middle of the game but nothing kills a team like those softies he gave up to Backs.
Theo made some strong headway towards getting out of BB's doghouse but he's still the #3 goalie and Varlamov's return may lead to some difficult decisions.
