The Washington Capitals just wrapped up a dominating first period in which they out shot the Dallas Stars 19-5 and grabbed a 1-0 lead.
Tom Poti tallied for Washington, taking a pass from David Steckel from the near boards and beating the Stars Marty Turco to his blocker side at 2:51. It was only the Capitals second shot of the game and marked the fourth straight game that the Capitals have scored the games first goal.
Semyon Varlamov is in goal tonight for the Capitals and was strong when he needed to be. Varlamov stopped two shots at point blank range within the games first 2:12.
Brenden Morrow was stopped within the first minute of the game on a semi-breakaway after deeking Nicklas Backstrom and taking a backhand shot on Varlamov.
Varlamov also stopped Loui Erikkson from just below the circles after he corralled Steve Ott's rebound and attempted to beat Varlamov blocker side.
The Capitals registered the last 10 shots of the first period.
