A tired Washington Capitals squad had to dig deep to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night. With big goals from depth players like Hathaway and Sheary, they did just that.
Justin Schultz fell at an inopportune time, so Sean Kuraly put Columbus on the board first. Alex Ovechkin replied with a milestone goal, an even-strength Ovi Shot from the Ovi Spot.
The second period started with back-to-back goals from grinder Garnet Hathaway, but the Blue Jackets rallied with two quick goals — Kuraly’s second plus one from Nyquist, to tie the game 3-3.
Late in the game, Dmitry Orlov sent a perfect pass to Conor Sheary, who just absolutely murdered it.
Caps win.

Hell yeah, I’ll take an ugly win in an unrested-versus-rested road game. Give Samsonov a W he doesn’t deserve. Sure. Why not. I don’t even care.
We’ve got more hockey coming. Sunday night, the Capitals will host the Penguins. That could be a good one. Depends on who is on the Penguins roster. I have no idea anymore.
