The Washington Capitals beat the Atlanta Thrashers 5-3 in front of a electrifying, red-rocking crowd. The Caps looked like a team that is ready for the playoffs.
The Caps have set new records during the 2009-2010 season and Friday night was no exception. During a pre-game ceremony, the Caps First-Ever Presidents' Trophy was presented by NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly.
Alex Ovechkin scored two goals which increased his total to 50 goals for the season and puts him at top of the NHL leaderboard by one goal over Crosby. This picture is of goal #49.
Congrats to Alex Ovechkin on reaching 50 goals this season!
Nicklas Backstrom scored two goals as well and reached 100 points for the first time in his career. Congrats Nicky!
After Backstrom's second goal of the night.
With Poti and Knuble sitting out as healthy scratches, Backstrom and Green wore the "A" on their sweaters.
Last, but not least, with five Caps' goals, all fans (with valid ticket stubs) get WINGS from Glory Days.
