The Capitals headed up north for a date with the Senators on Tuesday night, and it was a complete turnaround from Sunday night in Pittsburgh. Let’s talk about that!
The Capitals got on the board first for once. Mike Rcihards stuffed the puck home after Tom Wilson forced an Ottawa turnover and got the puck to a waiting Richards. Later on the power play, Marcus Johansson gave Alex Ovechkin a beautiful pass, which the captain slammed home to increase the Capitals lead.
Two minutes later, Jason Chimera, Jay Beagle, and Nicklas Backstrom combined for a sweet tic-tac-toe goal.
