Eight more notes on the game:
- Both clubs had a power play opportunity in the first frame but neither team could convert.
- At the end of twenty minutes the visitors had outshot the Capitals by two (9 to 7).
- A little more than five minutes into the second period the Golden Knights got on the scoreboard first. A loose puck under Vanecek after a shot was found and finished by Michael Amadio from inside the blue paint.
- Washington then failed to tally on a two man advantage that lasted nearly two minutes (1:57). Robin Lehner was Vegas’ best penalty killer, turning aside at least three high quality scoring chances.
- The Capitals pressed in the third period but their offense was ultimately absent. Washington outshot Vegas 14 to 6 in the final frame.
- Michal Kempny took a pair of minor penalties in 15:17 of ice time.
- Washington predictably went 0 for 5 with the man advantage.
- The shutout loss is Washington’s first of the season. The shutout win is Vegas’ first of the season.
