Jakob Chychrun had a standout performance in the Washington Capitals' 8-5 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. With two goals during this game, he set a new career high, becoming one of only three defensemen to score 20 goals this season. Chychrun's first goal came from a rebound off an Alex Ovechkin shot, setting a triumphant tone early on. His second goal showcased his skill, stealing the puck and scoring from the left circle. This milestone makes him the first Capitals player since Mike Green in 2008-09 to reach 20 goals in a season.
With a pair of goals in the Washington Capitals' 8-5 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, Chychrun not only set a new career high but also became just the third defenseman in the NHL to hit 20 goals this season.
The pair of goals also allowed Chychrun to debut Juicy J's 'Bandz A Make Her Dance' as his new goal song, switching from the questionable 'You Say' by Lauren Daigle.
Chychrun's second multi-goal game of the year still marks a significant milestone despite the team's loss, becoming just the ninth Capitals player to reach 20 goals in a season.
Chychrun and Ovechkin both broke out the shimmy that normally accompanies the pregame ritual as they made their way to the bench for fist bumps after the first period tally.
