Washington Capitals Defeat Flames Thanks to Marcus Johansson’s Two Goals

The Washington Capitals capped off their doubleheader by claiming victory against the Calgary Flames, with a score of 3-1. Things got started with a goal from Brett Connolly, which was his first on the season. Later on, the Capitals would go on the power play and go up 2-0 thanks to a Marcus Johansson goal that was assisted by Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom. Calgary would get one back later in the first with a goal from Mikael Backlund. That score would hold for most of the game until the very end, when Johansson would tally an empty netter.
