The Caps didn’t play a particularly strong first, but Alex Ovechkin took advantage of a Kyle Quincey miscue, and Andre Burakovsky of an Adam Henrique miscue, sending Washington to the dressing room up by two. The teams each scored twice in the second, and the Caps added an empty-net goal in the third.

Ten more notes on the game:
The Caps enter the all-star break with yet another win. That’s 12, with one more game to go. It has received a lot of breaks—take, for example, surviving the Hall onslaught vs the Backstrom line, or emerging from a bad first up 2-0—but with John Carlson likely returning soon, and Washington still in first overall, this team is sitting pretty moving forward.
