The defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals scored two goals just under two minutes apart midway in the third period on Friday, sending them to a 3-1 victory over the Red Wings.
Michal Kempny and Alex Ovechkin scored 1 minute, 56 seconds apart, both goals coming on nice passing plays, sending the Wings to their third loss in the last 12 games (9-3).
It wasn’t like the Wings were outplayed. They carried the play in the first period, and for stretches in the final 40 minutes.
