The Djoos is loose.
Christian Djoos blasted home his first career NHL goal for the Washington Capitals on a one-timer late in the second period against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night.
Djoos is the third defenseman in Capitals history to score in his NHL debut, joining Scott Stevens and Steve Poapst.
The 23-year-old racked up 58 points in 66 AHL games last season.
