"While his analytics are sterling, Justin Sourdif held a difficult distinction to start his Washington Capitals career: he was the only forward to play every game of the season and not register a point. That all changed Friday night at Nationwide Arena when Lady Luck rewarded Sourdif for his hard work early in the season. The plucky bottom-six forward missed with his shot on a breakaway, chunking the puck off the right post."
"The biscuit, however, had a mind of its own, ricocheting off Jet Greaves' back and in, giving the Capitals a 3-0 lead. The goal marked Sourdif's milestone first goal as a Capital. The play was all made possible due to Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson, who, after making a big save in his own end, sent a heads-up pass to Ryan Leonard exiting the zone."
Justin Sourdif ended a scoreless run by scoring his first goal as a Washington Capital after a breakaway shot hit the right post and ricocheted off Jet Greaves' back into the net, giving the Capitals a 3-0 lead. The play began when goalie Logan Thompson made a save and delivered a heads-up pass to Ryan Leonard, who found Sourdif in stride. Thompson received the secondary assist and Aliaksei Protas retrieved the puck. Connor McMichael later scored his first goal of the season, and Sourdif expressed gratitude to teammates after being acquired from Florida for draft picks.
