The Washington Capitals sure made the dogs proud on Caps Canine Night at Capital One Arena, as they shut out the Anaheim Ducks, 3-0. It was the Caps’ first shutout victory of the season and the first time they’ve won back-to-back games since late December.
This was also Logan Thompson’s first shutout of his Capitals tenure, as he stopped all 18 shots. It was Thompson’s fifth career shutout as he improved to 19-2-3 on the year.
The Capitals struck first in the opening period when Brandon Duhaime deflected a rebound from Jakob Chychrun past Ducks goalie John Gibson.
