The Washington Capitals defeated the Calgary Flames 4-2 to win their fourth game in a row. Evgeny Kuznetsov assisted on two of Jakub Vrana‘s three goals in the win.
The Flames struck first on Andrew Mangiapane‘s third goal of the season at 5:40. The Caps tied it at 11:01 with Kuznetsov and Vrana using their speed to get ahead of the defense. Kuznetsov fed Vrana, who was charging up the middle, to get things started.
“That’s my bread and butter, you know? That’s all I can say. I see him wide open, and when you have a guy like that hot – he had a couple of goals last game – you’ve just got to give it to him.
