My Thoughts:
*Jay Beagle who normally makes a difference defensively pitched in offensively with a goal and assist. Beagle seems to be fitting right in a third line center.
*Jason Chimera kicked off the scoring with his 3rd goal of the season, he took a feed from Beagle and beat Ryan Miller.
*John Carlson got another assist making it 5 so far this season. Right now the way Carlson is playing he could be in for his best season yet statistically.
*Alex Ovechkin is up to 5 goals now with his winner at the 15:05 mark of the 3rd period to give the Caps a lead that they would hang on to.
*Evgeny Kuznetsov made a difference again tonight. The winning goal Kuzzy took a long outlet pass from Dmitry Orlov and on a two on one put a pass right on OV's tape that he would do the rest.
*Braden Holtby was solid again and made some big saves when the Caps needed it the most when trailing 2-1 in the second period. On the night Holts stopped 23 of 25 shots.
*Overall this was a special win for the boys as it's their first win in Vancouver in 14 years. Also, for the first time this season the Caps had a one goal game and they finished it off. As well as coming back even though they were trailing going into the third period. Good solid effort and another two points in the standings.
What's Next: Tonight Oct. 23rd at. Edmonton 9:00 p.m on CSN
