The first road game for the Washington Capitals was a roaring success against the New Jersey Devils. We had the absolute pleasure to witness another Evgeny Kuznetsov goal, an all Russian goal, and a dominant first period.
How are we feeling? All of this feels very good.
Here are the highlights and important moments from the game.

A Solution.
Mantha’s figured it out. A simple push!
