"The Caps took an early lead when the Hawks failed to clock Anthony Beauvillier at the goal mouth. Connor McMichael, the best Connor in the game, doubled the lead with a breakaway goal that we'll discuss below. Ethan Frank made it 3-0 heading into the first intermission. Oliver Moore put the Blackhawks on the scoreboard with a brilliant shot to beat Logan Thompson. Justin Sourdif stayed hot by crashing the net. 4-1 after two periods."
"The flu is going around, you guys. Goalies Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom are both down and out (north and south?), so the team called up Drew Commesso. I'd say that was their first mistake, but their first mistake was lack of PPE in an era of declining public health. Commesso gave up three goals on the first seven shots he faced. That was the game right there."
Washington Capitals won 5-1 over the Chicago Blackhawks. The Capitals scored early after the Hawks failed to pick up Anthony Beauvillier, and Connor McMichael added a breakaway five-hole goal before Ethan Frank made it 3-0 by the first intermission. Oliver Moore scored for Chicago by beating Logan Thompson, and Justin Sourdif continued his hot play by crashing the net to make it 4-1 after two periods. Alex Ovechkin finished the scoring with a rush-play goal. Chicago’s Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom were sidelined with the flu, Drew Commesso allowed three goals on seven shots, and an emergency backup goalie served for Chicago. Connor Bedard returned from a shoulder injury and was fine. Sourdif displayed speed, board battles, strong passing, net-crashing finishing, and drew a penalty.
