The Washington Capitals traveled to Montreal tonight to play their third preseason game of the year. It wasn’t on local TV, but Twitter has us covered.
Caps captain Alex Ovechkin and new first-line right wing TJ Oshie scored their first preseason goals after two stunning plays. Oshie also scored on his backhand in the shootout, giving the Caps a 4-3 win.
On top of that, Burakovsky scored, Alex Semin did something weird again, and Oshie even got in a minor scrap.
You gotta see these highlights.

Here’s Alex Semin being Alex Semin
Awesome. Alex Semin had a stick stuck through his jersey throughout most of this shift. He just…went with it. pic.twitter.com/ElkTrvXm76
