Svechnikov is Capitals’ Boogeyman in Halloween win

It was a Halloween spooktacular in Raleigh as the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Washington Capitals 3-2 in a shootout Monday night.

It was a game full of Tricks — 14 total penalties were called over the course of the game — and Treats — four goals and three shootout goals scored in the contest — that saw the Canes come out with another win over a divisional opponent.

Carolina was cooking early with a terrifying power play as Stefan Noesen scored on a slick deflection between his legs off of a Brent Burns shot for his first goal as a Hurricane, however the power play soon turned even more frightening, but not for Washington.
