The Washington Capitals steamrolled the Edmonton Oilers 4-1 thanks to a four-goal first period.
Nick Jensen got things started right from the get-go and the Caps scored four goals in the opening period to put a flat out assault on the Oilers. I guess they came out pretty angry after that loss to the Blackhawks yesterday.
Both Nicks connected on the first goal with Nicklas Backstrom feeding Jensen at 5:19. Jensen took it down the ice and backhanded it home for his third goal of the season.
Jensen had another great look that he finished at 8:43 with a shot right ahead of the defense with only the goaltender to beat.
