The Tigers broke open a 6-0 game at halftime by scoring 2 times in the first 3 minutes of the 3rd quarter, as Shenandoah falls to 0-2. The Hornets have a bye week before facing Randolph Macon on the 19th.
To the NHL, where the Washington Capitals got goals from Alex Ovechkin, Dmitry Orlov, and Nick Jensen in a 3-1 win over the Flyers. The Caps, who went 4-1 on the five-game road trip, return home tomorrow to face New Jersey. Air time is 6:45 on The River 95-3.
