ADADAfter a sluggish start, which included surrendering the first seven shots on goal, Coach Peter Laviolette said the Capitals “dug in” to earn the win. Oshie opened the scoring for Washington at 13:38 of the second period, deflecting Carlson’s shot from the high slot for his third goal of the season. “I think everybody was feeling good when we scored [the first Oshie] power-play goal,” Ovechkin said. The Devils opened the scoring at 9:35 of the first period when Andreas Johnsson scored on the power play. After Oshie’s first power-play goal cut the Devils’ lead in half, the momentum started to swing in Washington’s favor.
