Chychrun Scores Two Goals, Assist; Leads NHL Defensemen in Goals

Washington Capitals defenseman Jakob Chychrun delivered a stellar performance in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Predators, scoring two goals and an assist, and firing seven shots. His first goal was the game-winner, featuring a spin move and a long-range wrist shot. This marks his third multi-point game in his last five outings (3 goals, 5 assists, 16 shots). Chychrun heads into the Olympic break with 46 points, a career-high 21 goals (most among NHL defensemen), and 182 shots in 57 games, just one point shy of his NHL career high.
