Caps coaching staff and minute management

“Hunter and his staff also deserve some credit for their smooth management of minutes in Saturday’s game. With another big contest looming against the Bruins on home ice in less than 24 hours, the Caps kept all 18 of their skaters to less than 23 minutes… …Defenseman Jeff Schultz, getting a sweater for consecutive contests for the first time in nearly two months, logged 13:53 as Washington’s sixth defenseman. That figure represents the most ice logged by a No. 6 defenseman (determined by ice time) in a Caps game since assistant coach Jim Johnson joined Hunter behind the Washington bench on Nov. 30.”
