"I think both teams controlled the flow of the game for long stretches, trading wins in the first and second periods. However, the Capitals really took hold of the game in the third period after Anthony Beauvillier put them in front, and they squeezed the life out of the Kings. In a very tough environment on the road, the Caps were up 5-2 in five-on-five high-danger chances in the final frame, securing a big two points against a good team."
"Tom Wilson got on the board yet again, scoring his 16th goal in his 27th game this season. Wilson is now on pace to score 49 goals this year, and if he did that, we would be able to make fun of so many people who hate him. So, Tom, please do that. He's on a six-game point streak and has 10 points (5g, 5a) in those games."
"Alex Ovechkin played provider on the team's two goals on an actual goaltender. The two assists bring Ovi to 27 points (12g, 15a) in 27 games this season. Just a casual point-per-game pace for a 40-year-old in the NHL. I'm starting to see him really moving his feet better, too. I think that injury in training camp really slowed him down out of the gate this year. Spencer Carbery is deploying him perfectly, and the points have started pouring in."
