From last night:

While the Capitals tried to rally, a 4-0 deficit was just too much to overcome - from @TheHockeyNews: thehockeynews.com/nhl/washin…

Carbery: “"That's a tough game because I thought our start was exactly how we scripted it and exactly how we wanted to … We did exactly what we wanted to do ... Even when they score 1st I think we're still fine. “Then it just gets away from us a little bit, um, with some of the bounces, and next thing you know, it's in the back of our net."

Jake Oettinger moves to 7-0-0 in his career vs. Washington, despite giving up a career-high 5 goals vs. Washington.

6-5 final, Capitals fall to 8-6-0, 6-4-0 at home. Two days off before Florida ends the homestand Saturday afternoon.

First time Washington has scored 5 on Oettinger, but of course still down a goal with 7.9 left.

6-5. Leonard with 1:02 left.

Sourdif cuts it to 6-4. Ties most goals Washington has scored on Oettinger.
