Mike Green set an NHL record for defensemen by a scoring a goal in his eighth consecutive game and the Washington Capitals beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-1 on Saturday night.
Mike Green continued to show Ovechkin isn't the only star in Washington, setting an NHL record for defensemen by scoring a goal in his eighth consecutive game. Green made it 4-0 from the low slot during a power play at 5:33 of the second. He was mobbed by his teammates who left the bench. Boston's Mike O'Connell had a seven-game goal-scoring run in the 1983-84 season.
Green has 10 goals and 17 points over the last eight games, and is one game away from tying the overall Washington consecutive game goal streak set by Alan Haworth (1985-86) and matched by Mike Gartner (1986-87).
