The Washington Capitals torched the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night for an 8-4 result. The team has now scored 20 goals over their last three games.
That’s a lot of goals.

The Washington Capitals got the mess beat out of them in Toronto and traveled to Montreal looking to quickly put that game in the rearview mirror. The Habs had lost four in a row coming into Saturday…could the Caps make it five?
Nic Dowd deftly deflected home a Dmitry Orlov point drive to open the scoring. Jake Evans slammed the Habs right back into the game with a rush slapper. Anthony Mantha put two straight behind Sam Montembeault four-on-four right before Ryan Poehling potted one under the same game context. Alex Ovechkin restored his team’s two-goal lead shortly after.
Ryan Poehling grabbed another early in the third but Garnet Hathaway, Dmitry Orlov, and Justin Schultz would respond with three more for the Caps. Nick Suzuki one more. TJ Oshie…I’m running out of ways to describe goals again.
Capitals beat Canadiens 8-4!
