On the road in Vancouver for the second half of a back-to-back and three in four nights the Capitals mounted an impressive third period comeback before winning 6 to 5 in a shootout.
Here’s Friday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: Two goal games from Michal Kempny and Evgeny Kuznetsov? Yes please.
Minus: Washington was pierced three times through 9 minutes of play during the second period (nearly putting the contest out of reach).
Eleven more notes on the game.
- Early in the first Kuznetsov put Washington ahead by one. A poor turnover from Micheal Ferland led to a Jakub Vrana pass that Kuznetsov stuffed into the net behind Jacob Markstrom.
