In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talk about the Caps loss to the Sens. The Caps will need to spend more time playing 5 on 5 hockey if they want to win games.
"We shot ourselves in the foot too many times with the puck," laments Caps coach Peter Laviolettte. "In the first period, we did exactly what we wanted to do. We put the puck north, we put it behind them, we're in the offensive zone, we're putting pucks to the net. In the second period and the third period, we played east-west hockey and didn't deliver any pucks. It's not good enough."
Despite the loss there were some bright spots as well. The Caps power play played very well. On an early 5-on-3 chance, T.J. Oshie struck for his second of the season on a nice pass from Marcus Johansson. Oshie has four points in five games to open the campaign, while Johansson now has four points in as many games. John Carlson also got his second assist of the season.
Darcy Kuemper played well despite the loss. He made timely saves and some high danger save that could have seen the Sens score far more goals Darcy made 39 saves on 42 shots
