The goals scored against him were because he was screened primarily. The Caps got goals from Dylan Strome and Martin Fehervary. This is a Capitals team that staged a big comeback win just the night before against the Islanders. They were hoping for the same result tonight.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about Anthony Mantha and where does he fit into the Capitals future plans. Anthony is a very hot and cold player. He scored one goal in his last eleven games. That's not a formula for being on the starting lineup on an NHL team. But despite his hot and cold tendencies he's having a career best in 5 on 5 and third among team forwards. He know he needs to work on his game and said “I think just my work ethic. Right now that’s what I need to do if I want to get back in the lineup, and I’ll have to show them.”
