"The tired and lowly Caps had a glorious first period. They were aggressive and physical - with even Justin Sourdif getting into it. Wilson and Brady Tkachuk got into it before the first puck even dropped. I loved every moment of that period, except the ones when I thought Aliaksei Protas's season was over after he got wiped out by Artem Zub."
"It was a bad second. Ex-Cap Nick Jensen scored on a spicy rebound off the crossbar, then Logan Thompson did an own-goal with 30 seconds left in the frame. From below the goal line, Stephen Halliday hooked up David Perron for a go-ahead goal early in the third. With four minutes remaining, Aliaksei Protas tied the game, helped out by Wilson and Sourdif. Fabian Zetterlund burned the Caps on the rush to give Ottawa the game-winner."
