"The Capitals' defenseman scored the overtime game-winner against the Tampa Bay Lightning, muffing a one-timer just enough off the heel of his stick past Andrei Vasilevskiy. Chychrun's layup was generated by Tom Wilson, who, on the play, completed a three-point night and registered his 400th career point. Skating down the right wing and then behind the net, Wilson emerged on the other side and sent a pass to Chychrun, who was left unmarked by Lightning forward Anthony Cirelli at the far post."
""It's one of those plays where you see a guy in a good spot and just try to take advantage of it, and Chychy made a great play to bang it in," Wilson said. "I just tried to support him on the entry," added Chychrun. "I noticed my guy was snoozing a little bit, and just tried to go back post, and he hit me with a heck of a pass.""
Jakob Chychrun scored the overtime game-winner against the Tampa Bay Lightning by muffing a one-timer just enough off the heel of his stick past Andrei Vasilevskiy. Tom Wilson generated the play, completed a three-point night and recorded his 400th career point on the assist. Wilson skated down the right wing, went behind the net and delivered a pass to Chychrun at the far post while Anthony Cirelli was out of position. Dylan Strome won the opening overtime faceoff, Nic Dowd shifted for a line change, and Aliaksei Protas and John Carlson repeatedly pressured Vasilevskiy before the decisive finish.
