Good game yesterday. Alexander Semin scored 28 seconds into overtime to give the Capitals a 3-2 victory over the Florida Panthers on Sunday and move them atop the Southeast Division.
Nicklas Backstrom and Boyd Gordon also scored for Washington. The Capitals have won four straight, their longest winning streak since Nov. 24-Dec. 1.
The Capitals, the division champion the last three years, are in first place for the first time since Dec. 31. Washington has 82 points, one more than Tampa Bay heading into their showdown Monday night in Tampa.
We found ourselves down twice in the game but we came back strong which is encouraging. Again, since the pickups, there is a different feel with the team. It seems like we believe we can come back. It's similar to the feeling of the team last year. We consistently have a number of good scoring chances and with our emphasis on defense, it seems like 3 goals is enough to win games now. I like this team and feel good about the direction we are going in. Hopefully we can keep the win streak going. It continues with a big game against Tampa Bay tonight. Will be a great test and a battle for first place in the division.
UNLEASH THE FURY!!!
