Matt Hendricks certainly isn’t the biggest name on the Capitals star studded roster, but in my opinion he should be the go to guy during shootouts. His pump fake seems to fool goal tenders every time and last night he sealed the deal against the Islanders as the Caps climbed back from a three goal deficit to edge New York 5-4 (SO).
Now that you’ve seen the goal, you’ve got to listen to John Walton’s call. It’s embedded below.
Hendricks had a couple of games where he was not in the shoot out…not sure why as he seems to be one of the most consistent in the shoot out.
