Capitals' Offensive Prowess

The Washington Capitals showcased their offensive strength early on, scoring two goals in the first period and maintaining their momentum with another two in the second.

On defense and between the pipes, Charlie Lindgren's performance was stellar. He saved 17 out of 19 shots faced, maintaining a save percentage of 100 percent throughout the game. This defensive solidity limited the Avalanche to scoring only twice despite several attempts.

Avalanche's Efforts Overcome
