T.J. Oshie lit the lamp twice and John Carlson had another three-point night, all assists. Michal Kempny scored in his first game back and it was another all-around good game for the Washington Capitals.
After new Ranger Artemi Panarin slashed Oshie 69 seconds into the game, the Caps went on the power play and struck right away. Nicklas Backstrom drove toward the net and found Oshie. It took a couple of attempts but he was able to push one past Henrik Lundqvist to make it 1-0.
