The Great Eight and the boys in Red! traveled to the great white north last night to do battle with the Winnipeg Jets, The Caps were coming off a Saturday night 4-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Caps trying to go for 2 wins in a row for the first time this season! Saturday everything was working The offense scoring 4 goals, and the defense only giving up 1 goal! Hopefully they could carry that momentum from Saturday going into Winnipeg.
The 1st period was a defensive stalemate, a back and forth, very boring! The Braden Holtby / Mike Green led defense. John Erskine got 2 minutes in the box for roughing, and Tom Wilson got 5 minutes for fighting with Patrice Cormier. End of the 1st period 0-0 stalemate
The 2nd Period things got good 3:11 in the 2nd Mikhail Grabovski put 1 in for Washington!! his 4th goal of the season! (Alright the defense is holding up! and the Caps strike 1st on the offense!) then in 7:21 Bryan Little put one in, Holtby was out of the box and Mike Green failed to stop the puck from going in, were tied 1-1. Then in 8:31 Grant Clitsome with a slap shot gets another one past Holtby, The Jets are up 2-1 on the Caps. For the next 7 minutes back and forth battling, in 15:50 The Greatness of Eightness puts one in the net! Ovi's 8th goal of the season! Then again in 18:02 it was Ovi again with another goal! The Caps up 3-2 with two goals from our fearless leader! The jets in 19:21 fired another missile passed Holtby (damn it) Blake Wheeler for the jets at the end of the 2nd period were tied 3-3.
The 3rd period the Caps got a goal from Troy Brower in 4:56, and then in 7:04 Brian Little put the Caps in the danger zone by firing a heat seeker past Holtby. The 3rd perios ended in a 4-4 tie! Were going to overtime! Overtime was a 5 minute stalemate no dice. A shoot out baby! and in the Shoot out The Caps had six shots : Grabo missed, The Great 8 Missed, Backstrom got the 1st goal for the Caps; Then it was Brooks Laich who scored one! Then it was Troy Brower who put one in!
