Caps beat Canucks 5-2 as Ovi goes for two

The Washington Capitals’ journey through late-night games in western Canada began on Monday night and the Vancouver Canucks, where the road team put up maybe their best sixty-minute effort of the still-young season.

Scoring began as scoring so often does, with John Carlson recording a goal after a great feed from Jakub Vrana. Vancouver tied it in the second as defenseman Troy Stecher got a deflection off Nic Dowd’s glove to beat Holtby. Kuznetsov got a power-play goal, and Ovechkin crashed the net to make it 3-1 after two period.

Sven Baertschi got a very lucky rebound to bring the Canucks within one goal early in the third, but Alex Ovechkin replied with his second of the night, a screamer on the power play. TJ Oshie got the empty-netter and ended it.

Caps beat Canucks 5-2!
