The Washington Capitals desperately really a bounceback game in Carolina last night, and boy did they get it. The Carolina Hurricanes are typically a tough opponent for the Caps, but the Caps seemed to be operating on a completely different level than usual against them. They were dictating play for the majority of the game, their special teams showed up, and several players had killer individual efforts that fueled the win.
Logan Thompson was excellent in net and Connor McMichael made some great plays to keep the momentum going in the Caps’ favor. The fourth line got the scoring started with a goal from Brandon Duhaime, and then Dylan Strome scored what would end up being the game-winner in the second period.
