Stephen Weiss beat Olie Kolzig to take a 4-3 advantage in the shoot out then Tomas Vokoun stopped Brian Pothier to end the game. The overall effort was there for the Caps who have now dropped 2 in a row after 2 straight wins.

The team now heads to Carolina for a game on Friday and then to Florida on Saturday to face these same Panthers.Off Note:
