The Washington Capitals hosted and defeated the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday with a final score of 6-3. Evgeny Kuznetsov scored twice, Tom Wilson had three assists, and Nick Jensen posted his eighth career multi-point game (1g, 1a).

The game was capped by an Alex Ovechkin empty-net goal. In my humble opinion, every game should end with an Ovi goal.

Here are the highlights and important moments from the game.

Capitals lines

Rude.

The nuance in this tweet. The Avs social media person knows what they are doing and we see them. We will find you.

Evgeny Kuznetsov opens the scoring.

Fly, you beautiful bird, fly.

All tied up at 1-1.

Scored by JT Compher…shorthanded…yeesh.

Nick Jensen takes the lead 2-1. 

Not sure where the superstar offense from Nick Jensen is coming from these days, but you won’t catch us complaining!

Avs tie the game at the start of the 2nd. 

Darren Helm ties it up with an excellent set up from O’Connor.

Anthony Mantha scores with 5:13 left in the 2nd. 

Okay wait, so like something weird happened. The play-by-play completely stopped and then Anthony Mantha scored. Just silence followed by a roaring cheer in the arena?? Grateful, but real weird!

Another goal for Evgeny Kuznetsov 4-2.

FLYYYYY!!!!! The assists went to Wilson and Orlov.

Nic Dowd scores at the beginning of the third 5-2

Nic Dowd scored his first goal of the season only 39 seconds into the third period.

Mikko Rantanen scores for the Avs 5-3.

Avs pulled their goalie and scored on a power play with 3:06 left in the third period yada yada yada.

Alex Ovechkin ends the game with an empty netter. Caps win 6-3.

SHAKE, RATTLE, AND ROLL! Four goals in the last three games for the great eight.
