Some goals are team efforts. Ryan Leonard's on Saturday was a solo project.

With the Capitals trailing New Jersey 1-0 late in the first period, Leonard grabbed the puck and went coast to coast (end to end, carrying it the whole way himself). He beat defenseman Luke Hughes, cut inside and deked goalie Jake Allen for his third goal of the season, per the AP.

That flipped the whole afternoon. Ilya Protas scored off a cross-ice feed from Alex Ovechkin early in the second, Dylan Strome and Boone Jenner followed, and Washington won 4-2. Logan Thompson made 29 saves.

It's back-to-back wins for the Caps, while the Devils slipped to 4-4-0. When your young forward is making highlight reels in October, that's a pretty good sign for the winter.

Next up: Washington hosts the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday.
