"The second period the Caps went off, scoring four goals, including Alexander Ovechkin's 900th which was a classis Ovechkin goal: a spin around back hander from below the left circle... that's his style, right? Anthony Beauvillier added two more, both beautiful goals: a top corner snipe and an ankle breaker move around the goalie for an open net. John Carlson also scored on a nice spin and rip from the slot."
"In the third, the Blue got a quick one on the penalty kill which is always downer but luckily the Caps were still up by four and not for much longer. Wilson tipped a shot into the goalie then slapped in the rebound for his second of the game and eight on the season. Both teams got their chances after that as well but both goalies stayed strong."
Washington Capitals produced a commanding offensive performance against the St. Louis Blues, opening the game with a strong first-period shift and a power-play goal tipped in by Tom Wilson. The second period featured four Capitals goals, highlighted by Alexander Ovechkin's 900th career goal on a spin-around backhand from below the left circle. Anthony Beauvillier scored twice — a top-corner snipe and a move around the goalie for an open net — while John Carlson also scored on a spin-and-rip. The Blues managed a shorthanded goal in the third, Wilson added a second tally, and goaltenders finished strong.
