"Ever since Brandon Duhaime got on all fours and barked like a dog (), there's been some magic in the air. Alex Ovechkin made history by becoming the only player in NHL history to score 900 goals. Meanwhile, Duhaime began chasing a franchise record of his own. After going goalless in the first 14 games of the season, Duhaime has scored in three consecutive games - a career high."
"If the bolded phrases didn't give it away, Duhaime has scored the game-opening goal in three consecutive contests. He's one game-opening goal away from moving into a tie with the Capitals' current record holder, Andre Burakovsky, who scored the first tally in four-straight games nearly a decade ago. Burakovsky managed the feat during a six day stretch in the 2016-17 season, where he scored against Philadelphia (1/15/17), Pittsburgh (1/17/17), St. Louis (1/19/17), and Dallas (1/21/17)."
Brandon Duhaime began the season goalless through 14 games before scoring in three straight contests, a career high. The three goals came as the game-openers: November 8 at Tampa Bay (4:06 of the first, assisted by Ethen Frank), November 11 at Carolina (5:59 of the first, assisted by Ethen Frank), and November 13 at Florida (8:25 of the first, a deflection of a Rasmus Sandin point shot). All three tallies were the first goals of their respective games. Duhaime sits one game-opening goal shy of tying Andre Burakovsky’s Capitals record of four consecutive first goals from the 2016-17 six-day stretch. Duhaime can match the mark in the upcoming game versus the New Jersey Devils.
