The Capitals traveled to Salt Lake City for the first time to face the Utah Hockey Club, formerly known as the Arizona/Phoenix Coyotes. Washington dominated for the 6-2 victory to close out a three-game road trip sweep and improve to 13-4-1.
One day after recording a hat trick in Vegas, Alex Ovechkin continued his dominant run by scoring two goals in the contest, one in the first period and another in the second on a 5-on-3. The Great 8 now has a league-leading 15 goals on the season and 868 career goals, needing only 27 more to pass Wayne Gretzky.
