Matthew Phillips scored against his former team and Evgeny Kuznetsov tallied in the shootout to lift the Capitals to a 3-2 home win over Calgary.
Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom can't stop Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov during the shootout Monday night as the Capitals secured their first win of the season. Matthew Phillips was as close to a guaranteed goal scorer as it gets in the NHL. The Washington Capitals forward spent the past five seasons in the Calgary Flames organization, and few things motivate a player like facing his previous team — especially when that playerNever miss a goal or a touchdown.
The goal sparked Washington’s comeback, helping the Capitals erase an early two-goal deficit and take the game to a shootout. Evgeny Kuznetsov scored the only goal in the tiebreaker to give Washington a 3-2 win and its first victory under Coach Spencer Carbery. Darcy Kuemper made 38 saves on 40 shots and wasn’t beaten in the shootout.“We obviously kind of got outplayed in the first, and Kuemps was great,” Phillips said.
