Washington Capitals defenseman Orlov had not scored a goal in well over a year. The last time that he scored? March 2nd of 2014 against the Philadelphia Flyers. Orlov changed that on Saturday night against the Colorado Avalanche. He did so by scoring one of the weirdest goals you’ll ever see. Keep an eye on Orlov because the Avalanche sure as heck didn’t.
How did the Avalanche lose sight of Orlov and the puck on that one? Did Dmitry Orlov turn invisible? Were the Avalanche just that careless? A magician never reveals his secret. The Caps won the game 7-3 to advance to 13-5-1 on the season.
