Summary
Philipp Grubauer is 0-4-1 after five starts and he let it be known how much he hates losing. What can the Caps do to help out their backup netminder?

JJ Regan, Tarik El-Bashir and Rob Carlin look at the factors contributing to the struggles of Grubauer and Backstrom, plus special guest Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post makes an appearance.
