Washington Capitals fans we’ve got you two for the price of one.

We’ll take a look back at the awesome highlights of the last two games by looking at the biggest impact players. These Washington Capitals players never take a game off and came up when their number was called.

Sunday’s contest was a wild affair featuring Evander Kane netting a hat trick for the opposition. Despite this, the Capitals rallied with Jakub Vrana scoring with an extra attacker just moments after the Sharks had an empty net goal.

T.J. Oshie tied the game with less than 15 seconds to go and in a fast paced overtime with high flying offense, Lars Eller would send the fans home happy.

On Tuesday night two goals from Ovechkin and Oshie powered the Caps to a six unanswered goal surge in the final 40 minutes in a 6-1 trouncing of the Ottawa Senators. Additionally, Radko Gudas scored his second goal of the season and Eller had his 11th.

Rookie goaltender Ilya Samsonov continued his momentum with a 26 save performance for a .963 save percentage. There were many stars and several highlights these last two games. Here’s are top 3 from each game starting with Sunday against the Sharks.
