Madison Bowey and Tyler Lewington Score First NHL Goals in Caps Win Over Sens

The Washington Capitals defeated the Ottawa Senators for the second consecutive Saturday 3-2 in Ottawa to win their fourth game in a row. This big road victory had a couple of milestones for two young defensemen Tyler Lewington and Madison Bowey. Each notched their first career NHL goals, the first time in Capitals franchise history that two defensemen scored their first NHL goals in the same game.
