HE ASSISTS ON A GOAL BY WSH #19 BACKSTROM BEFORE BEING PENALIZED FOR TOO MANY MEN ON THE ICE.

WSH #55 SCHULTZ HAS NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON. BURMISTROV (1) SCORES GLOVE-SIDE ON WSH #70 HOLTBY. WSH #74 CARLSON AND WSH #27 ALZNER LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND ROLL THEIR EYES AT THE CONCEPT OF "TEAM DEFENSE". LLOYD THE BARTENDER IS STILL SMIRKING. BRYAN MUIR BLUSHES.
