"Frank's first point of the night came on his first career power-play goal and his first goal of the season. Taking a pass from Alex Ovechkin as he skated into the slot, Frank ripped a shot past Sam Montembeault's glove, giving the Capitals a 2-1 lead 2:00 into the second period. "That first goal on the power play, that's a huge play," Caps head coach Spencer Carbery said postgame."
""Usually [Ovechkin] is the one shooting the puck," Frank said to Monumental Sports Network's Al Koken during the second intermission. "Getting an assist from him means the world, so it's awesome every time getting a pass from him is an honor and a lot of fun." Dylan Strome notched a secondary assist on the tally, his second of three apples he doled out on his big night personally."
Ethen Frank posted a career-high four points and recorded his first NHL multi-goal game in an 8-4 Washington victory over Montreal. Both of Frank's goals came in the second period, scored 1:38 apart. He nearly completed a natural hat trick but was stopped on a breakaway by Jakub Dobes. Frank's first goal was his first career power-play goal, set up by Alex Ovechkin with a secondary assist from Dylan Strome. Caps head coach Spencer Carbery called the power-play goal a huge play. RMNB's EF rating noted the shot was a howitzer but centrally placed, with Montembeault mitigating its impressiveness.
