My Thoughts:
*Alex Ovechkin scored his second goal of the preseason just 20 seconds into the game. Karl Alzner and Braden Holtby got assists on the play.
*Barry Trotz called out Stan Galiev yesterday and Galiev responded by scoring in the first period after the Canes tied it at 1-1. Jason Chimera and Ryan Stanton pick up assists, Stanton is again making his cases for the 7th defensemen position.
*The Caps would then go up 3-1 as Michael Latta would score for the first time in a while, whether it is preseason or regular season. Sean Collins and Brooks Laich with the assists.
*Sean Collins again seemed to make some type of impact as he got an assist. Collins may find himself as an extra forward on this team if he continues his strong play. We will have to wait and see though.
*Braden Holtby started in net and stopped 20 of 23 shots and then was taken out for Justin Peters. Peters stopped all 4 of the shots he faced.
*Marcus Johansson made his debut last night and in 17:05 of ice time was a -1.
*Overall I did not see the game because it was not on TV, however with that said it appeared that the Caps were in control of the game but penalties in the 2nd period got the Canes back in the game and changed momentum. The Caps has a strong 3rd period outshooting the Canes 11-3, and outshot them 4-1 in the overtime period. However it wold not be enough.
*T.J Oshie scored in the shootout for the Caps. However Kuznetsov, Galiev, and Burakovsky would be stopped and Nathan Gerbe who tied it for the Canes in the 2nd period would be Justin Peters to win the game.
What's Next: Friday Oct. 2nd vs. Boston 7:00 on CSN
