Story of the Day

The Capitals scored four third-period goals to propel them to a 7-3 win over the Calgary Flames on Monday at Capital One Arena. The Capitals, who have won six of their last seven home games (6-1-0), next head to Philadelphia and Buffalo for a road back-to-back set on Wednesday and Thursday.

Five of Washington’s seven goals on Monday were scored by players age 25 or younger: Connor McMichael (age 25, 2g); Hendrix Lapierre (age 24, 1g); Justin Sourdif (age 23, 1g); Ryan Leonard (age 21, 1g). McMichael tallied the game-winner on the power play with less than 10 minutes left in regulation to give him his first multi-goal game of the season. Sourdif (1g-2a–3p) and Lapierre (1g-1a–2p) also recorded multiple points as Sourdif became the fifth Capitals rookie in the past 40 years with multiple three-point games in a season, joining Alex Ovechkin (8 in 2005-06), Nicklas Backstrom (7 in 2007-08), Pat Peake (2 in 1993-94) and Michal Pivonka (2 in 1986-87), per NHL Stats. Leonard and Sourdif both climbed the NHL’s rookie scoring list, with Leonard (12g-21a–33p in 58 GP) taking sole possession of fourth place, while Sourdif (13g-16a–29p in 61 GP) now ranks tied for seventh in points among first-year players. Leonard’s 33 points and Sourdif’s 29 points are the most by a Capitals rookie since Evgeny Kuznetsov in 2014-15 (11g-26a–37p in 80 GP).
