Technical difficulties
We missed almost the entire first period due to the stream not working. Thankfully, John Walton and Ken Sabourin were there for the save.
We hear the stream for tonight is having some audio issues so how about a suggestion for #ALLCAPS fans near and far… mute the video, and turn https://t.co/jglebhCKxU up! We got your back!

John Carlson gets the Caps on the board first
We got nothing on the scoreboard in the first. Carlson’s second period strike from a fantastic Lucas Johansen pass was the first goal of the night.
The feed(s) b good.

Tiger got on the board from his own zone to seal things.
