Capitals vs. Maple Leafs: How the Game Was Won

"If the Caps had lost this game, it was an easy choice to pick The Moment it happened - how a disallowed goal 20 seconds in tanked the Caps. Thankfully the boys fashioned a third-period comeback, ripping off four straight goals after falling behind 2-0 for a 4-2 win. It wasn't the prettiest win, as Logan Thompson had to come up big a few too many times,"

"With seven minutes left in regulation, Matt Roy sent a pass to Dylan Strome streaking through the neutral zone. The puck was deflected, but Strome was able to corral it with his hand and throw it to his stick, taking a shot from the top of the circle that was deflected into the corner. Strome followed the puck and was able to stick-lift the defensemen, do a nice curl-and-drag move around him, and settle the puck into the corner."

The Washington Capitals overcame an early disallowed goal and a 2-0 deficit to win 4-2 with four straight third-period goals. Logan Thompson made several key saves to keep the game within reach. The first line, which had struggled earlier, produced the crucial tying sequence late in regulation. Matt Roy fed Dylan Strome, who corralled a deflected puck, executed stick work and a backhand pass to Alexander Ovechkin. Ovechkin drew the goalie and slid the puck to Anthony Beauvillier, who won the net battle and finished into a wide-open net.
