Tuesday Caps Clips: Healing thoughts, everyone

Your savory breakfast links:

• Recaps and other musings on last night’s win from us, Caps video (Carbery, Dowd, Lindgren, Protas, recap), NHL, AP, WaPo, KSL Sports, THN, NoVa Caps, RMNB and S&S.
• As fun as most of the match was, it came at a heavy price, as Alex Ovechkin exited midway through the third after colliding with Jack McBain. (NHL)
• Before his injury, Ovechkin remained in charge, adding two more goals (and another goalie victim) – just another line on his ever-growing resume. (TSN, Defector, AP, THN, SI)
• They may have been on the business end of more Ovechkin goals, but you can still count a number of Utah players — especially Logan Cooley — as big fans of No. 8. (SLTrib)
• A few leftovers from Sunday night’s win in Vegas. (Ice Rink, RMNB)
• The Capitals’ early-season improvements in play have staying power. (THW)
• The goaltender interference rules in the NHL are wildly inconsistent, as Caps fans have seen up close twice in recent weeks. Here is a suggestion to solve the problem. (Yahoo)
• Power rankings plus each team’s best newcomer. (The score)
• Finally, happy 51st birthday to Dean Melanson, and happy 63rd birthday to Grant Ledyard!
