The Washington Capitals are facing a daunting task as they look to bounce back from a shocking 9-6 loss to the Colorado Avalanche in Game 1 of their playoff series. The high-scoring affair saw the Avalanche's offense light the lamp nine times, leaving the Capitals' defensive unit reeling. As the team seeks a reset, coach John Hynes is likely to ponder significant lineup changes, including potential adjustments to the team's top-six forwards and the goaltending situation. With the series now evened at 1-1, the Capitals will need to regroup and refocus if they hope to advance to the next round.
