3-1 victory for the Red Wings tonight over the Capitals puts them in a playoff spot in terms of pts. % and only one point back of the Penguins, 3 points back of the Isles, and 2 from the Panthers, with 4 games in hand on the latter two.
Dylan Larkin kicked out in the 1st period for a vicious crosscheck to TJ Oshie. Pius Suter gets the GWG on the subsequent PK.
Andrew Copp was 2nd on the team in ice time, after Seider.
Hasn't taken Stevie Y long to turn the Red Wings around.
Washington, on the other hand, have lost 5 in a row. I wonder if they blow it up at the deadline? A lot of UFAs on that team. Orlov would be the most valuable. TJ Oshie had 6 goals in 6 games in the playoffs last year, I wonder if he would get traded out of the Ovechkin show. I wouldn't be surprised if Scott Arniel gets some input on at least one Jets trade.
I don't think Washington "blows it up" while Ovechkin is still there. He's chasing Gretzky and he's a (probable) Hall of Fame sniper I don't see them wasting the last 3 years of his contract.
