PHILADELPHIA - Boos rained down at Wells Fargo Center as Nick Jensen was engulfed in a group hug from Nicklas Backstrom, Alex Ovechkin and T.J. Oshie. The Washington Capitals defenseman s wide smile flashed across the video board - he finally did it.
Jensen had scored for the first time since joining the Capitals at the trade deadline in February 2019, and his goal early in the third period gave Washington a cushion as it rallied to beat the Philadelphia Flyers, 3-1, on Sunday night. I had all day to take a shot, said Jensen, who has seven goals in 299 regular season games. It was exciting. It s been a while.
