The Digi Caps have run the digital gauntlet.
Saturday, the Capitals defeated the virtual Panthers 5-0 to go undefeated on NHL20, winning seven straight games. There were big hits, lots of goal horns, and another goalie change.
Evgeny Kuznetsov started the scoring a little over a minute in and the Caps never looked back.
