VIDEO Capitals Nicklas Backstrom scores on rare 4-on-1 against Jets
The already had the power play, but the made things a little easier for their opponents on one of the most woeful
Matt Joyce Jersey displays of penalty killing youll ever see.After the Jets got caught with three players in the attacking zone, the Capitals transitioned out. Poor was all by himself back there, left to defend not one, not two, not three, but four Washington players.The puck eventually ended
Rickey Henderson Jersey up on s stick and he deposited the puck into the net to make it 4-1. But if you thought giving up the four-on-one was embarra sing enough, it gets worse. The Jets actually ended up with a too-many-men penalty. They had more players
Stephen Piscotty Jersey than allowed on the penalty kill, yet there was only one back to defend.It doesnt get much worse than that. WellIn desperation the Jets pulled the goaltender with over seven minutes remaining in regulation for a six-on-four power play opportunity. The Capitals scored rather quickly as Troy Brouwer sent the
Santiago Casilla Jersey puck all the way down the ice to make it 5-1, which ended up being the final score. Tough night for the Jets as they find the
Khris Davis Jersey rest of the Western Conference rising around them while clinging to one of the two wild card spots.
