The Washington Capitals know that the end is near so they went to dramatic lengths to change their luck heading into Game Four.
Down 3-0 in their first-round series, several Capitals players sported new looks, highlighted by first-line center Evgeny Kuznetsov who shaved his head bald and left a goatee.

After a stinker in the first period, Kuzy and Ovi tied the game in the second period. Ovi scored the game-winner in the third.
The goatees worked – though it’s still unclear what inspired it.
Kuzy on his bald head: "What happened with the team stay with the team."
