Jay Beagle continued the Capitals dominant play of late, scoring 14 seconds into the first period. Beagle’s fourth goal of the season gave the Caps a 1-0 lead over the New York Rangers.

The Capitals are 37-1-5 when The Hockey Dog scores a goal. Their only loss in regulation came on March 4, 2016 against the Rangers.

Beagle lost the opening face-off, but a poor step up in the defensive zone by Kevin Shattenkirk, gave Beagle all the time he needed to bury a goal past Henrik Lundqvist.

It was Beagle’s first career goal against the King. Devante Smith-Pelly gave Beags a big hug.

During the first intermission, Beagle spoke to NBC Sports Washington’s Al Koken about the tally and credited his teammates Steve-o (Chandler Stephenson) and Devo (Smith Pelly).

“It was a great play by the line,” Beagle said. “Steve-o kind of picks a pass off in the neutral zone and it gets over there, their blue line, and Devo makes a great pass on his backhand to me. I just try to get that shot on net. Obviously, I closed my eyes and hoped for the best.”

The goal was one of the quickest goals scored in franchise history.

Way to go, Beags.
