The opponent that the Washington Capitals drew in our virtual NHL 20 world was (as weird as this sounds) the Buffalo Sabres.
The Sabres struck for two goals in the first period to go up 2-0 and silence the virtual home crowd at Capital One Arena. Jack Eichel struck first at 3:09 to put the Sabres up 1-0. The goal was assisted by Sam Reinhart and Jeff Skinner.
The Sabres added another at 6:14 from Brandon Montour assisted by Evan Rodrigues. They would get in penalty trouble and the momentum would shift to the home side shortly after.
