There was a lot going on in last night’s win over the Blues, and plenty of moments one could point to as being a major contributor to the win. But aside from the overall offensive fireworks and the goaltending and the penalty killing and contributions from up and down the lineup and all the things, one thing stood out: the reappearance of the team’s much-maligned power play, which struck not once, but twice against St. Louis.
The first of those two goals came early in the second period, with the Caps up 3-1, and was scored by none other than the man himself, Alex Ovechkin.
