And when we had our chances, we capitalized. To keep a team like that to one goal is a good sign for our club.”Andre Burakovsky scored and Braden Holtby stopped 28 shots for the Capitals, who have lost two of three.“I really felt like against a dangerous transition team we really fueled their offense by the way we handled the puck
