Capitals off to racing start vs. Bruins

By Matthew Paras - The Washington Times - Wednesday, October 3, 2018

If you’re late getting to your TV, you’ve already missed two goals.

The Capitals are off to a blazing start as they began their campaign to repeat as Stanley Cup champions — rushing out to a 2-0 lead Wednesday against the Boston Bruins in just 1:47 of game time.

Winger T.J. Oshie delivered the perfect strike from the left face-off circle to score the game’s first goal just 24 seconds in. Shortly after, Evgeny Kuznetsov easily scored on a power play.
