T.J. Oshie found himself in a familiar position Thursday night — beating Sergei Bobrovsky in a shootout, just like at the Sochi Olympics.
The Washington Capitals winger was first to go in a shootout with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
“I thought about it for five seconds, maybe,” Oshie said of his Olympic highlight, before taking his attempt on Bobrovsky.
Oshie remembered his four goals in six shootout tries on Bobrovsky in the memorable U.S. group-play win over Russia three years ago. He also remembered going five-hole on half of those attempts and scoring on all three.
