Postgame Recap: Caps 6 Devils 2

 The Caps improved to 2-0-2 with a 6-2 rout of Metropolitan Division rival New Jersey. Here are the highlights.











My Thoughts:

*Andre Burakovsky had started his NHL career with a 4 game point streak with his second goal of the season late in the 3rd.

*The Caps defense had a rough first period but finally got back on track in the 2nd and 3rd.

*Eric Fehr, Joel Ward, and Jason Chimera were very good together last night. At times last season they were the Caps best line. 

*Marcus Johansson had a strong game scoring on a nice wrist shot. If he shoots more he will have a bounce back season.

*Alex Ovechkin had been great so far this season and he again set the tone last night with his goal 36 seconds in. He continues to block shots, and his effort is going to rub off on the team.

*Braden Holtby was the reason why the Caps were still in the game after the first period. He was very good and both goals were not his fault.

*Mike Green again had a solid game. This is the best I have seen Mike Green in years, he seems to be very comfortable under Barry Trotz.


Whats Next: Sat. Oct. 18 vs. Florida 7 p.m.
