"Our first goal was Washington's first power-play goal in five games, with Tom Wilson deflecting John Carlson's shot. Next, in the second period, Alex Ovechkin put a blind backhand behind Binnington to become the first player in NHL history to embarrass Jordan Binnington on Wednesday night. Not the last. Anthony Beauvillier then used Ovi as a decoy to make it 3-0. A fadeaway goal from John Carlson was all Blues coach Jim Montgomery needed to see, pulling Binnington for future HOF-er Joel Hofer."
"Alexey Toropchenko scored a shorthanded goal early in the third period to snap Logan Thompson's shutout and make the Caps PP look bad some more. Tom Wilson shook it off, teaming up with Ds Sandin and van Riemsdyk to make it 6-1. That was the final. Caps win! This game snaps 1) a four-game losing streak, 2) a power-play slump, 3) some cranky attitudes in the RMNB Discord from people I usually depend on to cheer me up."
The Washington Capitals defeated the St. Louis Blues 6-1, with Alex Ovechkin scoring his 900th career goal. Washington's first goal ended a five-game power-play drought when Tom Wilson deflected John Carlson's shot. Anthony Beauvillier scored twice, once using Ovechkin as a decoy, and John Carlson added a fadeaway that prompted St. Louis to pull Jordan Binnington for Joel Hofer. Alexey Toropchenko cut the lead with a shorthanded goal early in the third, but Tom Wilson, aided by Sandin and van Riemsdyk, finished the scoring. The win snapped a four-game slide and a power-play slump.
