And we’ll see how long 53 stays on this top line here tonight certainly in honor on this 1,000th game to get the start as he should Quinn gets him help and throws it down into the corner Dylan cousins leaned on though and the capitals now will find

Their way out to Center Ice Hendrick’s laier at the Blue Line long shot gets through and it’s a one- nothing capitals lead on the blast from the point farari is going to get the goal this one through lcan and just watch here he comes right off the bench right

Down the gut of the ice there hits the top of the circle and then bam let a rip see 21 protos in front of the net doing a little bit of a screen job he’s a big man and you see him jump and it goes right underneath the pad the left pad

Abuko Pekka L farari from The Point again through that one of the goal it’s blocked Alex tuck has a breakaway tape to tape pass tuck bothered turns holds fir saved by [Applause] lingren along the near wall trying to turn it towards the net Lop here plays

Capitals night as do has it up top takes a look Tage is up top with him Far Side Great pass bumped in front Chad scores J J PKA side of the net power play goal puts the Savers up two to one with 310 to go in the opening

Period of this season and what I like about this quick movement but willing to put the puck towards the net here it’s just going to slide across to JJ P he pulls this one back north of the goal line he sees the goal tender down and

Out there and he’s got an easy job not put it up and over a little contested there by 47 coming in but does a nice job staying with this one get coach carbury talked about those two specifically about the moves that were just made by power after practice

Yesterday here’s a nice pass in front another chance lingren with a save as tucking Thompson in front of Charlie lingren Sabers from right to left in this second period Carlson for the capital starts it off and he’ll toss it right back into the Buffalo Zone where it’s taken care of by

Rasmus doie Buffalo 2 capitals W capitals had a one- nothing lead Sabers scored a couple of goals in a span of a minute eight here’s a loose puck in front PKA [Applause] scores JJ PKA with backto back goals in this game and the Sabers are Up 3 to

One this is JJ down little under pressure with two guys down though then he throws it up the wall and Alex tuck creates his turn over here and it’s going to come right to JJ P standing by himself as he comes out to the corner but look at tuck right there Swatch that

One away JJ pker coming from the corner pick it up the face off in the Buffalo Zone one by the capitals that comes off the end wall near post Lucan and stop loose puck in front and he finds it and holds on look continue listening in on Jeff’s

Milestone game here’s Quinn down the middle with a shot block Rebound penson with a back hand tried to center it it’s on the side of the goal Sabers far dot walked up top and the shot does not get through that time and capitals will Bank it out to Center Ice here’s Milano against

Byrum Byrum holds his ground Taps it ahead Sabers with three on the Zone entry now four in the offensive zone as work it down low in front Benson oh what a save lingren robs Benson on the doorstep and I mean robbed him here with 720 left in this second period and here’s Jack

Quinn just firing this one to the net the redirect by cousins and Zack Benson getting robbed and the Sabers work it up to Thompson two on one Tes Thompson lost the puck asz he look to make the pass he still does and Linger The save on petka

Looking for a hatrick goal there Capital keeping play to the outside as well Quinn trying to create a lane Benson far post pass that’s blocked Quinn tried a shot from below the goal line gets it back again cousins with a shot and the referee blows the play

Dead under a minute to go in the period capitals will set it up Carlson up top and you know where number Eight’s going to be Lucen save rebound score stro on the doorstep it’s the capitals back within one with the power play goal with 45.1 seconds to go in the

Period of the net see 17 he deflects it so Luc not able to get it but he deflects in a good Bounce from off his stick off Lucan and he’s able to collect it and slide it in by the time Clifton got there you see they just redirected

Enough and then on the backand SL away we go third period Sabers up by by one off the Stick of Alex tuck Benson keeps it in play for Tage Thompson at the Blue Line Rasmus dolene scores sh for the [Applause] point Rasmus doen let that one rip and

That one looked rather clean going to the net and the Sabers have taken a 4 to2 lead and just a shot as you said it it wasn’t the hardest shot in the world but it was in the right spot nice job by the Sabres look at there a

Lot of movement there and there’s four guys stacked up in front of the golender when the shot’s taken right here there’s two up top coming down low and it just you see it’s all this fluttering coming in there edge of the circle for Quinn Benson comes back

Over Quinn looks in front great pass great goal Tes time it on the Finish as the kids work it to the big man up front the sabes are up 5 to2 with 1512 to go in the third is some real good work on L look at Benson here

Got 18 Capital soetkin slides it through LC at it big save Carlson below the goal line plays it to the corner the Sabers are on it Thompson to the line kept in what a play by dolene Thompson far post scores Alex tuck Sabers with the unconverted touchdown up

On the board with 1427 to go they lead it 6-2 guys to step up and take charge of this game and this is what they’re doing here in this third period Alex tuck and Tates Thompson right here what a pass find an Alex St all by himself there on the left side of
