Whatever Todd Reirden said (read: screamed) at the Capitals in the locker room during the first intermission, it seems like it worked.
Washington got two back in the second frame. Alex Ovechkin forced a turnover in the offensive zone that sprung Lars Eller all alone and in on Philipp Grubauer, and just a few minutes later Dmitry Orlov found T.J. Oshie who hit the three-wheel motion to beat Grubauer forehand-backhand and in.
It’s 4-2 Avalanche after two. Tick tock….
Third period ahead…
