After dropping two straight games, including one Thursday night to the New Jersey Devils, it was clear the Capitals were bound and determined to snap the losing streak. Washington came out of the gate hot and never looked back.
In the end, Washington left the Prudential Center with a 6-2 victory. After being stonewalled by New Jersey backup goalie Keith Kinkaid in the last game, Saturday was a different story. The Caps got to Kinkaid early and often in the win.
Brett Connolly got the scoring going when he put the puck int he back of the net less than three minutes into the game.
