Postgame Recap: Caps 4 Devils 1

 The Caps have a two game winning streak after a strong effort in New Jersey. The Caps got goals from Karl Alzner, Jay Beagle, Evgeny Kuznetsov and an empty net goal by Brooks Laich along with another strong game by Braden Holtby to end this week on a good note. Here are the highlights.



Caps/Devils Highlights:

My Thoughts: 


*Caps had another strong defensive effort tonight and once again held the Devils to one goal. This time however they were able to give a little more goal support and were able to get the two points.

*Evgeny Kuznetsov had a strong game with a powerplay goal. This after being a healthy scratch on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes.

*Jay Beagle is playing very well of late after scoring in Carolina he made a great play to give the Caps the lead in the second period. Along with Jason Chimera and Michael Latta that 4th line was very good again for the Caps.

*Karl Alzner is not a scorer but he chipped in tonight with his first goal of the year, and Tom Wilson was able to pick up an assist on the goal.

*Nice to see Brooks Laich score the empty net goal, for Brooksy is was his 2nd of the season and 2nd goal of this week.

*Braden Holtby again was very good in between the pipes. He tried for an empty net goal himself but he was unable to put it in the net. Thats ok though as he was able to hold the Devils off.

*The Hershey Bears beat the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins tonight 2-1 with a strong effort from Pheonix Copley in net and two goals by Chris Conner. Check my previous post for highlights.
