Josh Norris scored a pair of goals in his season debut Wednesday night, leading the Ottawa Senators to a 6-1 win over the Washington Capitals.
Norris had missed the first three games of the regular season and didn’t play in the preseason, but looked solid in his return. The Senators center was coming off shoulder surgery last January.
Vladimir Tarasenko, Artem Zub, Claude Giroux and Jake Sanderson also scored for the Senators , who picked up their third straight win. Anton Forsberg made 23 saves. The Capitals , playing their first road game of the season, often dominated play in the opening period but the Senators capitalized on their chances and some poor defensive coverage.Trailing 5-1 in the third, the Capitals managed just three shots on goal while Ottawa extended its lead on a laser of a shot from Sanderson.Norris picked up his second by beating Kuemper glove side two minutes into the second period. Zub scored with a shot from the blue line three minutes later.
Giroux picked up his first of the season after some poor coverage by the Capitals allowed him to drive to the net uncontested for an easy tap-in. Tarasenko opened the scoring four minutes in after taking a pass from Ridly Greig to beat Kuemper, but it was Norris’ power-play goal midway through the period that brought the crowd to its feet.Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom skated in his 1,100th career NHL game Wednesday. Backstrom made his NHL debut on Oct. 5, 2007, against the Thrashers in Atlanta.
