Besides failing to get any points against the Senators, Washington has lost four straight and 11 of 14. In the last two games, the Capitals have falling behind 3-0 early and failed to get out of that hole. Starting goaltender Philipp Grubauer was pulled in favor of Braden Holtby in both games.
"It's not the way I wanted it to go, but it's part of the job. A player gets benched, a goalie gets pulled," Grubauer said after getting pulled in New York. "It's my job to stop the puck, I didn't stop it today. I've got to work on that and move on."
The Senators have lost two straight, allowing nine goals combined. Coach Paul MacLean gave his players an off-ice day Sunday and told NHL.com that there won't be any changes, despite the team's recent woes.
"Since the first of December we've been a pretty consistent team game in and game out," MacLean said after practice Sunday. "You have to look at the big picture and say 'We're looking to be in a good spot after 82 games, not 49 games.' We need to have a maintenance day to get everybody back up and running and get ready for our next game."
Washington coach Adam Oates has been experimenting with numerous forward line combinations in an effort to improve a team that ranks 20th in 5-on-5 goals. Washington's 19th-ranked penalty kill has also been issue, mostly because of the nature of the Capitals' penalties, according to NHL.com.
"You talk about it and hopefully the guys control themselves and learn," Oates said Sunday. "Veteran guys play in this League for a long time for a reason. Lately it just seems to be happening at the wrong times for us."
