The Washington Capitals got a spotless performance from their rookie netminder and beat up on the woeful Ottawa Senators to go into the Christmas break on a winning streak. The Capitals got goals from all over their lineup on the way to a 4-0 victory in Canada’s capital city.
The Sens out-shot the Caps 35 to 33 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 60 to 46.
Tyler Lewington is scheduled to make his NHL debut tonight. He'll be the fourth player from the Capitals' 2013 NHL Draft class to play for the Caps (Andre Burakovsky, Madison Bowey and Zach Sanford).
