In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the Caps blanking the Bruins. The Capitals found that playoff gear tonight. A game that they absolutely had to win. They did just that by Blank the first place in the Atlantic Bruins Charlie Lindgren was HUGE and all it took was the goal by John Carlson from the blue line and a late goal by Nic Dowd to cement the Capitals win. This game had huge implications in the regard that if they lost they would have most assuredly been out of playoff contention. John Carlson has been absolutely clutch for the Capitals as of late and that was no exception tonight. John Carlson broke the record for most goals by a Capitals blue liner on Saturday and he kept the positive mojo going Monday night in the District. Carlson found twine in the first period for his 10th goal of the season and fourth point in three games. This is now Dowd's sixth consecutive season scoring double digit goals Getting shots on goal is something the Capital have struggled with this season, but they sure found it tonight. The Caps finished the night leading 25-16 in SOG. Capitals understood the gravity of this game and they found a way to answer the bell when they had to. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
