Caps vs. Canes Recap: Ovechkin and Samsonov Crush Carolina 2-0

You know how sometimes your little brother pesters you, and pesters you, and pesters you, and finally you have to just lay a whoopin’ on him?

Yeah, the Carolina Hurricanes came to town, and it was kinda like that.

Here’s Monday night’s Plus/Minus:

Plus: Alex Ovechkin now sits 11th all-time among NHL goal-scorers. Just incredible. When he goes into the Hall of Fame, his jersey will say “WASHINGTON,” and that’s pretty cool.

Minus: A scary moment for Michal Kempny in the first period.
