Game Recap:

After a successful month of October that was capped off with an even more successful five game road trip to end the month, the Washington Capitals start the month of November at home against the Buffalo Sabres. In the first period the Sabres would get an early powerplay, but after the Capitals killed it off it would spark them as Jakub Vrana would score on a breakaway to to the early lead, but then less than 45 seconds later the Capitals would go on a 4 on 1 and off the tic tac toe play Chandler Stephenson would score his second of the season. Then before the game would be ten minutes old Michal Kempny would find a wide open Vrana who would one time a blast past Linus Ullmark for his second of the game. But the Capitals weren’t done there as Brendan Leipsic would score his first as a Capital on another passing play to give the Capitals the 4-0 lead less than eleven minutes into the game. In the final minutes of the period the Sabres would surge, but they would not be able to solve Braden Holtby before the first period ended.

 

In the second period after a very quick moving first half it would be the Sabres getting on the board as Henri Jokiharju would score his first career goal to cut the Capitals lead to three. Then with a little over three minutes left in the period the Sabres would fail to clear their zone as Michal Kempney would be able to keep the puck in and wrist it from the point for a Tom Wilson tip to make it 5-1 heading into the second intermission.

 

In the third period it would be relatively quiet for the majority of the period. The Sabres would get a late powerplay opportunity, but would not capitalize on it. Then after the Capitals killed the penalty it would be TJ Oshie scoring to put the Capitals up by five. The Capitals would get a late powerplay, but would be unable to get Vrana the hat trick goal before the final buzzer as the Capitals would go on to win 6-1.
