Capitals' Ivan Miroshnichenko: Nets first NHL goal

Miroshnichenko scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Penguins.

Miroshnichenko extended Washington's lead to 5-0 late in the second period, burying a loose puck in front of the net for his first NHL goal in his fifth game. Miroshnichenko still has room to grow at the NHL level -- the 2020 first-round pick offers high-end offensive potential. He should get an extended opportunity in Washington following Anthony Mantha's trade to the Golden Knights.
