The Washington Capitals hosted the Edmonton Oilers at Capital One Arena this evening. The Capitals put an end to the possibility of a three-game losing streak.
Two key assists from the return of Travis Boyd opened the game up with a Capitals lead at 2-0. After a quick Connor McDavid goal and first intermission, the game started back up with a TJ Oshie goal and an amazing spinning assist from Nicklas Backstrom. A quick goal from Leon Draisaitl and a money shot from the office of Alex Ovechkin would bring the score to 4-2 heading into the third period.
The third remained scoreless. A calm, winning ending is exactly what we all needed.
Caps beat Oilers 4-2.
Intermission poll. What is the worst Thanksgiving food?

Way to go, team. We’ll meet all of you right back here after two sleeps when the Capitals host some team named the Pittsburgh Penguins.
