6-5 L: The Game Where Some Guy Named Alex Got a Hatty in a Loss

Caps: 5
Sens: 6
CK's Hard Hat Winner: Anton Volchenkov. The Sens had two goalies, one who stood between the pipes and one who roamed around like a missile defense system programmed to block Ovechkin shots.


You can't say the Capitals aren't streaky. This was the third game in a row to feature a hat trick and the team's second consecutive loss. Hey, I'm all about building new streaks, but let's build them upward maybe?

The thing about hat tricks is that when you get them you typically shouldn't lose. Alex Semin's hat trick was a joy to watch, but just about every Capital can be held accountable for a messy first period. The Caps have been exceptional in the third period, but they have to stop losing the first.

While both the Sens and Caps didn't have any winning streaks to defend, there were plenty of storylines to follow, most notably the return of Varlamov. Varly was okay, good at times even, but ultimately underwhelming. Then again he did have to start on the road at the tail end of a back-to-back set of games, so let's not be too harsh.

So it's on to St. Louis, where the Caps can hopefully find their footing (looking at you, Mike Green) before a two-week break where NBC decides to snub hockey for pretty little sequins.
