"On a first-period power-play, Sabres forward Tage Thompson fired five shots on goal in half a minute, all from the Ovi spot. Three of them were 90 mph. None of them hit the net. Well done, Charlie Lindgren. Huge game by Chuckles."
"Late in rego, Aliaksei Protas won a scramble below the goal line and found Jakob Chychrun for the game-winner. Caps win!"
"Ryan Leonard is on a three-game goal streak. There's something poetic about scoring this goal alone after being 100 percent of the team's offense last night."
