The Capitals-Rangers’ season opener was supposed to be a physical slugfest. Instead, it was a systematic beatdown by the Capitals both on the ice and on the scoreboard.

Alex Ovechkin scored twice and tallied four points in the win. He’s now in sole possession of fifth place in goals. Hendrix Lapierre also scored his first NHL goal.

The game was aired nationally on TNT. Highlights are below and here is Peter’s recap.
