Niskanen, red-hot Caps having 'a lot more fun' amid win streak
Geoff Burke / USA TODAY Sports
After a fourth consecutive win - a 4-2 decision over the New York Rangers on Friday - Washington Capitals defenseman Matt Niskanen broke things down rather simply.
"Hockey's a lot more fun when you're playing well, playing hard for each other like we are right now," he said, per Stephen Whyno of The Associated Press.
Niskanen buried the game-winner Friday night - his first tally of the season - helping the Caps to their eighth win in their last 10 games, and an NHL best 12th win on home ice.
