"He's (Mike Green) pretty good," said Capital's Coach Bruce Boudreau. "He even played well defensively today." Green scored the game winner at the beginning of the third period and then put the game out of reach when he scored an empty-net goal late with just over a minute left in play.
Green continued his hot hand by scoring twice in tonight's game, now the longest goal streak ever by a Washington defenseman, having now scored goals in his last seven straight games. He scored his 18th and 19th goals of the season.
After tonight's game the Capitals hold a 13-point lead over Florida in the Southeast Division standings, sitting second in the Eastern Conference.
