Just called up from Hershey, Paul Carey (I wanted to sneak ‘Ace’ in there) scored his first NHL goal Saturday in New Jersey, tying the game at 2-2 down the stretch before the Caps won it in a shootout. The goal came off of a deflection from Matt Niskanen.
It was Carey’s third game with the Caps. The 27-year-old also played 22 games with the Colorado Avalanche the last two seasons.
