We dive into Alex Ovechkin and Jakob Chychrun carrying the offense, Matt Roy finally ending his 45-game goal drought, and the surprising amount of scoring coming from the blue line. Plus: Spencer Carbery’s challenge to fix late-game execution, the David Kampf visa situation, and why the next week at Capital One Arena might be the Capitals’ last real chance to save the season.
