Screencap: @Capitals

Washington Capitals defenseman John Carlson scored his eighth goal thus far Sunday afternoon as the team hosted the New Jersey Devils at Capital One Arena. It also marked the Capitals’ first four-on-four goal of the season.

After former Capitals defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler was busted for tripping and center Lars Eller was called for slashing, the teams went four-on-four for a bit.

Carlson cut the Devils’ lead, 2-1, with less than fifty seconds remaining in the first period. Center Michael Sgarbossa and defenseman Dmitry Orlov assisted.
