Phew! Get the firewagons!
The hits just kept coming in the second frame of this one. Halfway through the period, T.J. Oshie caught a lovely apple from Nicklas Backstrom, glided into the low slot, and ripped a high wire act past Cam Talbot to make it 3-1 Capitals.
But Leon Draisaitl responded for Edmonton with a doorstep redirection that cut the lead to 3-2.
But O Captain My Captain Alex Ovechkin corralled a blocked John Carlson slapper and repurposed it for a one-timer of his own, blasting a memo from his office that read 4-2 Caps.
Third period ahead…
