Jakub Vrana came to the rink expecting to play on the Capitals' third line again. Vrana made Barry Trotz look like a genius for bumping him up the lineup but wasn't expecting to be his coach's plan B. "That's just how the game rolls," said Vrana, who also assisted on Brett Connolly's first-period goal to give him three points. With Backstrom unable to play the final 13 minutes, Lars Eller double-shifted and Vrana looked like a perfect fit with Ovechkin and Kuznetsov. Kuznetsov's goal brought out his bird-flapping celebration and awakened a crowd that booed the Capitals at the end of the second period.
