Nicklas Backstrom, Alex Ovechkin, Radko Gudas, Jakub Vrana, T.J. Oshie, Evgeny Kuznetsov, and Carl Hagelin. Those names and other high profile Washington Capitals players were on the ice on Wednesday night at Capital One Arena.
In a matchup between the last two Stanley Cup champions, two teams who will take the ice to begin the season in two weeks time, the Caps prevailed over the St. Louis Blues 3-2 with two clutch goals late in the third period.
The Blues struck first in the opening period from Austin Pganski at 13:37.
