OTTAWA — It was a night of firsts for the Washington Capitals on Saturday. Tyler Lewington and Madison Bowey became the first two Capitals defencemen to score the first goal of their careers in the same game as Washington edged the short-handed Ottawa Senators 3-2. The Senators also had goaltender Marcus Hogberg making his first NHL appearance with starting netminder Craig Anderson also injured. It was quite an opening 40 minutes for the Edmonton-born Lewington, who was playing in just his second NHL game. It took Lewington just two games to get his first goal whereas Bowey was playing in his 78th career game.
