Hendrix Lapierre helps Capitals dominate Kraken at five-on-five: 'He had some really good shifts'
"Skating with Connor McMichael and Tom Wilson on the left wing of the second line, Lapierre gave the Capitals 10 minutes and 47 seconds of dependable, if not dominant, hockey. The Capitals held positive differentials in shot attempts (+15), shots on goal (+9), scoring chances (+10), and high-danger chances (+5) with the 23-year-old forward on the ice."
""I thought he had some really good shifts with his linemates," "Just had the puck more. He was around the puck more. Playing with those guys with Mikey and Willy, a little bit worried early on, but then they found their footing. They had a couple of really good shifts that I think gave them a little bit of confidence and some momentum.""
"Hendrix Lapierre's night at five-on-five Capitals shot attempts: 20-5 (80%) Capitals scoring chances: 10-0 (100%) Capitals high-danger chances: 5-0 (100%) Capitals expected goals-for percentage: 95.36%"
