Jakub Vrana, the Washington Capitals first round pick in 2014, also had a goal while Hartford got goals from four different goal scorers. Both teams scored once on the power play and went a combined two of seven on the night.
The series switches to Massachusetts for Games Three and Four to be played in Worcester, Ma at the DCU Center due to scheduling conflicts at the XL Center in Hartford. If there is a Game Six it will be played in Hartford.
