Postgame Recap: Caps 2 Panthers 1 SO

 The Caps were able to win an ugly game last night as they got shootout goals from Evgeny Kuznetsov, Nick Backstrom, and Alex Ovechkin to help get the extra point and also to give Justin Peters his first win as a Washington Capital.


Jason Chimera Goal:

Full Shootout:

My Thoughts:

*Eric Fehr is fitting in well with the "twins" as he made a beautiful pass to hit Jason Chimera who scored the Caps only goal in regulation.

*Nick Backstrom played in his 500th career game, he did not accomplish 500 points in 500 games as he is at 499. Regardless he has been a great player for the Caps.

*The Caps have had a great start to the season as they are now 3-0-2.

*The Caps came out well but Florida played very well to keep the game close.

*Justin Peters played very well, the Brad Boyes goal would have been tough to stop.

*Defensive corp did well, only giving up that goal in the third period. The Caps however, need to watch the turnovers.

*Hershey Bears end the weekend with two wins. Saturday they beat the Springfield Falcons 4-1 with goals by Casey Wellman (2), Philille Cornet, and Dustin Gazley with Philip Grubauer earning the win. While today they beat the Hartford Wolf Pack 1-0 in Overtime as Casey Wellman won the game and Pheonix Copley got the shutout.
