Game Recaps
Washington Capitals v. New Jersey Devils – 730p ET
- In New Jersey the Devils would play host to the Washington Capitals as both teams play in the second game of their back to backs coming off of yesterday’s Frozen Frenzy. In the first period the Caps would finally break free and get the first goal as Anthony Mantha would strike for his first of the season to give them the 1-0 lead. Then later in the first period Dylan Strome and Sonny Milano would score less than two minutes apart to give the Caps the 3-0 lead. Going into the second period the Devils would do a goalie change as Vitek Vanecek would replace Akira Schmid, and the Devils would respond in kind as Tyler Toffoli and Timo Meier would score 48 seconds apart to get them back within one. Then Nico Hischier would strike to give the Devils their third goal in 2:11 to tie the game at three, and Toffoli would strike for his second of the game to give the Devils the 4-3 lead. To open the third period the Caps would have an abbreviated powerplay, and Strome would net his second of the game to tie the game at four 18 seconds into the period. Then Connor McMichael would score to reclaim the lead for the Caps, and with 1:35 left in regulation Alex Ovechkin would get the empty netter for the Capitals to defeat the Devils 6-4.
