Andre Burakovsky scored the game-winning goal in the Capitals’ 3-0 win over the New Jersey Devils Friday night.
According to a tweet by the Capitals, the Swedish forward has a bizarre series of pregame superstitions that may be behind the streak.
The Washington Capitals struggled to put a shorthanded New Jersey Devils team away Friday night at Capital One Arena. Thankfully, it didn’t matter because Braden Holtby was a brick wall.
The Holtbeast made 25 saves in the Capitals 3-0 win over the Devils.
The shutout was Holtby’s 35th of his career, tying him with Olie Kolzig for most in franchise history. Two nights earlier, Holtby became the second fastest goaltender in NHL history to record 250 wins.

Happy Friday, folks. The Capitals hosted the New Jersey Devils and I almost fell asleep.
Andre Burakovsky got the Capitals on the board first.
There was definitely a second period. I’m told a second period definitely happened.
The third period began and Nicklas Backstrom had a gorgeous layup from John Carlson. Putting the whipped cream on top of the ice cream sundae, Lars Eller with the ENG.
Caps win 3-0.

Carl Hagelin is playing another solid game for the Capitals, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t had Moments.
For instance, during the second period, Hagelin went for a line change.
Except he couldn’t make it over the boards.
