Thursday night, the Washington Capitals continued their westward journey into Edmonton to play the Connor McDavids. There was a whole lot less hatchet tossing and guitar strumming than past days out west, but we did get a hockey game.
Evan Bouchard opened scoring on the man advantage, beating a screened Braden Holtby with a point shot. Ryan Nugent Hopkins doubled that lead shorthanded to kick the second period off, before Andre Burakovsky’s first of the year brought the Caps back in it.
Say it aint so, Alex Chiasson made it 3-1, Edmonton. McDavid empty netter.
Oilers beat Caps 4-1.

Next up is the Calgary Flames who the Pens are currently obliterating 8-0 at the time of writing this, plus a weird 4 PM eastern start. That will be the last of these weird western faceoff times for a couple weeks, praise be.
