WASHINGTON (AP) - Alex Ovechkin and T.J. Oshie cured two of the Washington Capitals‘ early season woes all by themselves.
Oshie scored twice and Ovechkin got his first goal of the season on the power play in a 3-0 victory Tuesday night over the tired Colorado Avalanche. The well-rested Capitals skated circles around the Avalanche, who were playing the second half of a back-to-back and their third game in four days.
Washington had the puck for most of the night and shelled goaltender Semyon Varlamov, who came up big by stopping 37 of the 40 shots he faced from his former team.
