The Washington Capitals came quick and fast in today’s New Year’s Eve tilt. The boys were joined by their moms on this short road trip. (Mom trips are so cool!!!)
With less than 5 minutes gone in the first, Michal Kempny flipped a wrister towards Pekka Rinne and beat the Finnish goaltender for Washington’s first of the afternoon. The puck might have been tipped by T.J. Oshie. Once again, Nashville would be down early in the game. The Capitals added another goal from Jakub Vrana with 11:05 remaining in the first.
