Ryan Leonard becomes eighth Capitals rookie to score 20 goals in a season, earns $250k performance bonus
"Yeah, it was kind of like a weird play. Mikey chipped it out to Dubie, and he almost kind of got stuck on the wall, and you get nervous for a second that we don't have that two-on-one. Dubie makes a hell of a play and gets it to me. I saw his glove right across the line, and I looked right at the ref, and he waved no goal, and I was 110 percent that it was over the line."
"Yeah, it was great (by Hutson). It just speaks to the [ability] he has to see the ice offensively and make those plays. It's incredible what he's doing, and I don't know whatever game that is, but he's doing a great job."
"It's exciting. Obviously, credit to the whole staff and all my teammates and linemates. It's not a solo mission, so, yeah, they helped me out."
Ryan Leonard has emerged as a key player for the Washington Capitals, scoring two goals in a recent 6-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
