The Caps had two stinkers against the Isles and Flyers and hoped to rebound against the high-flying Colorado Avalanche. How’d they do? Let’s talk about it.
Andre Burakovsky now has a career-high in goals thanks to his opening period tally. Mikko Rantanen scored an absolute dart after a TJ Oshie o-zone penalty. Nicklas Backstrom smacked home a beautiful back-door feed to cut the lead in half. The Caps had roughly a gajillion power plays and then FINALLY Tom Wilson tipped one home in front. Then TJ Oshie deflected a beautiful Nick Jensen shot to give the Caps the lead with two minutes remaining. They did not relinquish it.
CAPS WIN 3-2!

Since there are a few Bojangles in the area, petition that instead of Netflix and chill we go with Bojangles and dangles, who says no? https://t.co/D1PX5k1PtP

The Caps finally found some urgency and clawed back against a very, very good Avs team. This is a game they needed to win, and they pulled it off. You’ll get another #RMNBafterdark Saturday when the Caps take on the Coyotes at 10 p.m.
