"Less than 24-hours removed from a 5-1 drubbing of the Columbus Blue Jackets the night before, the Washington Capitals faced an uphill battle taking on a well-rested Ottawa Senators squad on Saturday night, and it showed in the first period. It took fewer than two minutes for a Dylan Cozens tip-in to find its way past Charlie Lindgren for Ottawa's first tally of the night. The 1-0 lead would hold for the rest of the period without much resistance from the Caps, who were only able to register three shots on goal in the first twenty minutes."
"Officials would review the play to see if the puck crossed the line, eventually awarding a goal to Ottawa. The Capitals would issue a challenge, one that was perhaps ill-advised as they didn't have anywhere near as much of a case to overturn the call as they did a week ago. Predictably, the call was upheld and the Senators would get another power play, one that would find Dylan Cozens putting home his second of the night to make it 3-0:"
Less than 24 hours after a 5-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Washington Capitals faced a well-rested Ottawa Senators team and stumbled early. Dylan Cozens scored a tip-in inside two minutes to give Ottawa a 1-0 lead, and the Capitals managed only three shots in the first period. In the second, a play involving Shane Pinto and Jakob Chychrun led to a review and an awarded goal after a failed Washington challenge. Ottawa converted another power-play goal through Cozens to make it 3-0, and the Senators limited Washington to just 13 shots.
