"Just as the Capitals began their first power play, Josh Anderson scored a shorthanded goal, the one score of the first period. Brendan Gallagher doubled Montreal's lead thanks to a crisp pass from Philip Danault. Matt Roy unleashed an outside shot that Ethen Frank grazed to break the shutout. Frank did it again with two minutes left, a dramatic redirect from the slot. Connor McMichael slam-dunked it overtime. Caps win"
"With his first deflection, Ethen Frank is on three-game goal streak. With his second deflection, Frank has been Washington's best player over the last week. This was a scheduled loss for Montreal, who beat Vancouver 6-3 last night before arriving in DC well after midnight. But they started the game with a high-danger chance and a rung post before Josh Anderson's shorty."
The Washington Capitals won 3-2 in overtime against the Montreal Canadiens after Connor McMichael scored in extra time. Josh Anderson opened scoring with a shorthanded goal. Ethen Frank scored two deflections, ending a shutout and extending his goal streak to three games. Brendan Gallagher doubled Montreal's lead following a pass from Philip Danault. The Canadiens arrived tired after a late previous-night game. The Capitals have allowed six shorthanded goals through 47 games and rank poorly on adjusted power-play effectiveness when subtracting short-handed goals. Dylan McIlrath and Arber Xhekaj fought after a heavy hit. St. Louis extended Logan Mailloux for one year despite poor five-on-five results. Martin Fehervary had one turnover and a tripping penalty.
