Not to make excuses, but the NHL's schedule-makers had a big hand in this one as well.
"Fun" fact - if I'm not mistaken, this was the fourth-consecutive time the Caps have faced the Canes in Raleigh after having played the night before (with CAR rested for three of those, home-home the other).

CW is that Leonard slots in on the 3rd line and the question becomes which b6 W comes out. But there's a world in which Leonard becomes a 1RW honeybadger (already a heavily sheltered line) and Protas either massively bolsters the 3rd line or bumps McMike to (same Q remains on who comes out). 🤔

Assuming Caps do their research, I'd be interested in Pettersson in the summer if the price is right. Caps are great at turning other teams' misfits into gold. All I'm saying is they should at least call and see what the deal is if he's still in VAN this summer.

Not a lot of Caps play big minutes. That could pay off big come playoff time.

One of the unusual (and delightful) things about the Caps this year is that when a game has been there to be won, they've nearly always been the one to score the go-ahead goal rather than concede it.

Assuming his January is over (Chuckie likely draws OTT on Thursday), LT's 8-0-1/.947/1.48 with two shutouts is the best month for a Caps goalie since... Holtby in January 2016-17 (9-0-0/.935/1.82, 3 SO)? Longer?

The Caps are 1st in the league at the end of January... and I have no idea how. They really don't have any game breaking talent (besides maybe Thompson) and definitely need at least 1 more great depth piece. I guess the power friendship is really doing it.
