MUST SEE: Goal of the Night - Evgeny Kuznetsov

Goal of the Night - Evgeny Kuznetsov

Evgeny Kuznetsov grabs a great feed from Marcus Johansson, then moves to his forehand to beat Henrik Lundqvist and double the Capitals' lead.

What they said after the game: 

"It means we're the best team in the season," Washington captain Alex Ovechkin said. "But the most important season is coming soon. I think we went in the right way. I think everybody is focusing, everybody is playing the right direction. You can see we played solid games against [the Columbus Blue Jackets], Toronto [Maple Leafs] and the Rangers. Maybe we're going to see them in the future, but for us, we just have to continue to play the way we played today in those games."

"This was going to be a tough one coming home from a long road trip," Capitals coach Barry Trotz said. "I thought we got stronger. The first (period) was so-so. I thought we got stronger and stronger, and I thought we managed it much better in the second and third."
