"The Washington Caps inaugurated the Cole Hutson era with a win on home ice over the Ottawa Senators. A sturdy win over a team that has dogged them all season. No one scored in the first period, but the Caps got two in the second period: Alex Ovechkin on a one-timer and Tom Wilson with a sneaky boi that Linus Ullmark didn't expect."
"With 2:41 left in regulation, Tim Stutzle stuffed a shot to bust Thompson's shutout late. Aliaksei Protas sunk one empty-netter, then Cole Hutson got his first NHL goal in his first NHL game against zero NHL goalies."
"Alex Ovechkin, a Russian player on the Capitals, scored a goal. It was a slick deflection of Rasmus Sandin's pass, it was the 25th of Ovechkin's season, and it was his first since a two-goal outing on February 28."
The Washington Capitals won their home game against the Ottawa Senators, marking the Cole Hutson era's inaugural victory. The first period remained scoreless, but the Capitals scored twice in the second period: Alex Ovechkin on a one-timer and Tom Wilson with an unexpected goal. Tim Stutzle scored late in the third period to break the shutout with 2:41 remaining. Aliaksei Protas added an empty-netter, and Cole Hutson scored his first NHL goal in his debut game. The Senators, who had dominated the Capitals earlier in the season with a 7-1 victory, played closer this time. Ovechkin's goal was his 25th of the season, and goalie Logan Thompson delivered a strong performance.
