"📸: RMNB The Washington Capitals defeated the Montreal Canadiens 8-4 on Thursday, and they're starting to make me a believer again. Alex Ovechkin had a hat trick and is skating much better than the start of the season. The team is getting secondary scoring - what art thou is this? - and lo-and-behold, their defense and goaltending are so good, this is apparently an ingredient to win hockey games and win bigly."
"Tonight, the Capitals take on the Tampa Bay Lightning. Logan Thompson will return to the net opposite of Jonas Johansson, while Nic Dowd will miss another game due to an upper-body injury. On the backend, the Lightning are aching as they're going to be without both Victor Hedman and Ryan McDonagh. TVR is playing in his 700th career game. Capitals defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk is playing in his 700th career game tonight vs. Tampa Bay. van Riemsdyk, a 2015 Stanley Cup champion, has recorded 149 points (26g, 123a) in 699 career games with Washington, Carolina and Chicago."
