Game 1 would end in a hard fought tie with both teams skating away with a single point. The Capitals while playing hard throughout the game found themselves shooting from bad angles and not being able to get to rebounds in front of the net. The passing game was not as sharp as it has been so there would be things to work on and improve for tomorrow afternoons game.
