The Washington Capitals defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning in overtime. Jake Guentzel scored the lone first-period goal, and Connor Michael set up Aliaksei Protas for the second. Brayden Point scored early in the third on a power play to put Tampa Bay ahead. Washington tied the game when Tom Wilson deflected Dylan Strome's slot shot, and Jakob Chychrun finished the overtime winner on a Wilson pass. Tom Wilson recorded a point on all three Capitals goals. Pierre-Luc Dubois missed the game with a lower-body injury. The Capitals have struggled on the power play, converting only once in eleven opportunities, though Wilson's net-front presence can help. Alex Ovechkin recorded his second shot on goal of the season.
"The Washington Capitals returned to DC just in time to shut down the Tampa Bay Lightning with a stirring overtime win. Jake Guentzel owned the lone goal of the first period, a layup after a face-off in the Caps' zone. There was just one goal in the second as well, as Connor Michael delivered a perfect pass from below the goal line to Aliaksei Protas, who was wearing his Metal Gear Solid stealth camouflage."
"Early in the third, Brayden Point got a touch on a power-play shot down the gullet to put the Bolts back ahead. The Washington Capitals - and brace yourself here - scored a power-play goal, with Tom Wilson deflecting Dylan Strome's slot shot. In overtime, and after Strome hit the post, Jakob Chychrun finished it off a pass from Tom Wilson. Caps win!"
"Tom Wilson had a point on all three Caps goals. Pierre-Luc Dubois missed the game with a mysterious lower-body injury. The Washington Capitals have had eleven power-play opportunities. The first ten passed without notice, ranking them worst in league, even if the NHL calls that a four-way tie for 29th. There's a lot going wrong with the PP, but Tom Wilson planting himself in front of the net can right a lot of wrongs."
