WASHINGTON — The Washington Capitals cited the importance of putting in the work to put their struggles behind them. It wasn't pretty at times on Wednesday, but they did just that for a big two points against the Montreal Canadiens.
The Washington Capitals held on for a 5-4 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night in Washington. Alex Tuch recorded two goals and an assist, while Jordan Kyrou posted a goal and an assist to lead the Capitals' offense.
