"The Milano blitzkrieg started early as the Massapequa, New York native scored the Capitals' first goal of the game 6:48 into the first period. After taking a pass from Lapierre in the slot, Milano flipped a no-look, backhand dart to the top corner, beating goaltender Michael DiPietro and tying the game 1-1. That highlight-reel goal was just the start. Milano collected his first assist of the night two shifts later after he helped force a turnover down low in the offensive zone."
"All in all, Milano had three points in the first period, figuring in three goals during a four-shift span. He finished the night a plus-four and with four shots on goal in 16:15 of ice time. Speaking to Monumental Sports Network's Al Koken during the first intermission, Milano admitted he was motivated to make a statement after languishing being the scenes last season. Milano appeared in only four games last season before an upper-body injury forced an abrupt end to his season on November 6."
Sonny Milano returned to competitive action and scored two goals and recorded four points as the Capitals beat the Boston Bruins 5-2 in a preseason game. Milano played with Hendrix Lapierre and Anthony Beauvillier. He opened scoring with a no-look backhand to the top corner 6:48 into the first period, earned an assist on Beauvillier's setup to Lapierre, scored on a breakaway after a breakout pass from Ethen Frank, and recorded a secondary assist on Ryan Chesley's preseason goal. Milano totaled three points in the first period, finished plus-four with four shots, and had been limited to four games last season before an upper-body injury ended his campaign on November 6.
