""Obviously, it's been a while. I think faith in myself never went away. I know what I can do in this league, and, obviously, it had been a while, but the confidence has always been there. I trust the work that I put in on a daily basis. So, again, it feels good to get one. Just got to keep going with the consistency now and rack a couple wins up.""
""I felt it right away. Johnny kind of jumped into my arms, and it felt like I scored my first goal all over again. Don't want that to happen too often. But no, it's an awesome group of guys. I love these guys to death. I've said it a lot. I consider myself very lucky to go to battle with these guys pretty much every other day.""
The 23-year-old forward Hendrix Lapierre scored in the second period to end the longest active goalless streak in the NHL and helped the Washington Capitals to a 3-1 win over the Calgary Flames. John Carlson’s pass deflected off players and landed on Lapierre’s stick, allowing him to tuck a shot past Flames goaltender Devin Cooley. The goal, his first since March 18, 2024, triggered exuberant teammate celebrations, with Carlson nearly tackling him similar to a previous celebration. Lapierre described patience, maintained confidence, and credited daily work and his teammates as he aims for consistency and more wins.
