"Despite a free-flowing, ultra-fast-paced first period, neither team got on the board. After also playing most of the second period scoreless, John Carlson finally blasted the Capitals into the lead with 1:41 remaining on the clock. Alex Ovechkin pumped his second of the season home from another offensive-zone faceoff. Justin Sourdif picked up his first Capitals goal just over a minute later."
"The second period was a complete slog compared to the first as both teams slowed things way down. The Capitals went without a shot attempt for over six minutes and just could not string two passes together. They eventually got things together at the end of the frame with a good shift from Hendrix Lapierre, Connor McMichael, and Tom Wilson."
The Washington Capitals beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-1 in Columbus. John Carlson scored with 1:41 left in the second; Alex Ovechkin and Justin Sourdif scored quickly, and Tom Wilson and Connor McMichael converted power plays. Denton Mateychuk scored for Columbus with 9:40 remaining. The first period was ultra-fast-paced and ended scoreless, with Columbus leading 23-16 in five-on-five shot attempts, scoring chances tied 11-11, and Nic Dowd taking a late penalty. The second period slowed dramatically; Washington went over six minutes without a shot before finishing the frame with a strong shift from Hendrix Lapierre, Connor McMichael, and Tom Wilson.
