Well, well, well…what do we have here? It’s another season of NHL hockey and another season to overreact to numbers of the daybreak variety. Join me yet again as we travel alongside a new look Washington Capitals with a new face calling the shots behind the bench.
Those Caps kicked off their 2021 campaign with a big ole W, taking down the Buffalo Sabres by a score of 6-4.
With Ovechkin's two assist night, he now has 363 multi-point games in his career, which is second in the NHL since his debut in 2005-06.
