Darcy Kuemper may want to forget his first period as the Washington Capitals netminder. Kuemper allowed two goals in the first 20 minutes of his first season with the Capitals, including a nifty highlight-reel goal by Boston Bruins forward David Pastrnak.
Pastrnak brought the puck off the left-corner wall. He fended off Capitals’ Dylan Strome and split Aliaksei Protas before spinning around and ripping a shot in front of Martin Fehervary through the five-hole of Kuemper.
The amazing shot stunned the pro-Capitals crowd at Capital One Arena. Boston took a 2-0 advantage into the first intermission.
