At least the TV Washington Capitals games that are simulated on NBC Sports Washington keep on rolling. This game was a polar opposite of theirs.
The Caps were whistled for the first penalty of the game when Radko Gudas was called for tripping at 13:08. While on the power play attack, Kyle Okposo would put the Sabres in front at 14:59 with a goal right in front of the net off a quick feed from Victor Olofsson. Brandon Montour had the secondary assist.
Olofsson added to the lead at 16:24 to make it 2-0 Sabres which would be the score after 20.
