Capitals Win 11th in a Row to Set Franchise Record

Last night, the Washington Capitals defeated the Boston Bruins 4-1, giving them their 11th consecutive victory and a franchise record. The Capitals were down 1-0 after the first, but Mike Knuble scored early in the second period to tie the game 1-1. Brooks Laich, Boyd Gordon, and Alex Ovechkin helped finish the job with one goal each in the third. The win also gave the Capitals an NHL-best 82 points, while the San Jose Sharks lost and now have 81 points.

This is a great time for Caps fans. If you read my post from before, you know how thrilled I am that the Capitals pulled it off. The Capitals are playing better than ever now, and if they can keep it up they will definitely be the favored to go to the Stanley Cup finals from the Eastern Conference. They have a 10 point lead on the second place team, New Jersey. After two disappointing postseasons, is this finally the year of the Capitals? Only time will tell.
