The Washington Capitals are in an 0-2-0 hole. Even though they host the Montreal Canadiens tonight this isn’t a game they should take lightly. In fact a slow start is very alarming.
The Caps already dropped a back to back against the Boston Bruins at home and the Toronto Maple Leafs on the road on Wednesday and Thursday. Tonight is their third game in four nights.
The Capitals are 0-2 to start the season for the first time since the 2013 lockout shortened season. And the special teams, especially the power play look out of sync. Caps are 0 for 9 on the man advantage this season as they keep trying the slingshot and trying to look pretty on the fancy passes.
In addition the penalty kill has given up a goal on their opponents first power play chances in both games so far. Yeah it’s bad. But maybe tonight will be different.
