Opportunity Knocks Once, Then The Door Slams Shut - Heading into Sunday's finale of their five-game homestand against the Arizona Coyotes, the Caps had an opportunity to take a couple of points from a road weary team, a team playing on the shortest turnaround - just 22 hours - allowed by the NHL's collective bargaining agreement. It was also an opportunity for the Caps to finish the homestand on a winning and high note; a win would leave them at 3-1-1 for the homestand while a regulation loss would leave a decidedly less appealing 2-2-1 mark to show for those five games in the District.

Several times a season in the NHL, the schedule throws you a favorable match-up. Such was the case for the Capitals on Sunday afternoon when the Arizona Coyotes came to town, playing their second game in as many nights and third game in four nights against a rested Washington team seeking to finish a five-game homestand on a high note.

Playing with a patchwork blueline against one of the league's most aggressive forechecking teams on Friday night, the Caps figured to have their hands full against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Washington's youthful blueline acquitted itself well and gave the Jackets nothing at five-on-five, but on a night where it was all about special teams, the Caps were shorthanded personnel-wise and came up short on the scoreboard, 2-1.
