Jakub Vrana scored his 12th goal of the season early in the third period of Friday’s game, but it sure took a while for anyone to notice.
The Washington Capitals shook off the Thanksgiving hangover and treated us to a delightful afternoon game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Jakub Vrana brought the Caps within one goal four minutes into the third period with a sneaky goal. Then, with an Ovi Shot from the Ovi Spot, Alex Ovechkin tied the game, forcing overtime for the three hundredth time this season. (Okay, the 12th.)
