Alex Tuch, who has joined the Washington Capitals, recalls a defining moment from the 2018 Stanley Cup Final when he was with the Vegas Golden Knights. In Game 2 of that series, Tuch sent the puck toward what appeared to be an open net.

The recollection is part of Tuch’s broader connection to Washington’s recent history, as the Capitals move to incorporate him into their roster.

The accounts focus on the same on-ice incident from 2018, while also tying it to Tuch’s present situation with the Capitals.
