The Washington Capitals edged out a victory against the Edmonton Oilers with a final score of 3-2, a match marked by an unexpected third-period goal from Corey Perry. The goal came after significant debris, notably a tray of nachos thrown by a fan, landed on the ice and distracted Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson. Although Thompson protested that the play should have been stopped, the goal stood. Thompson accepted responsibility and humorously reflected on the rare occurrence, while Perry claimed he didn't notice the nachos during the play.
Corey Perry's unexpected third-period strike, despite distractions on the ice, kept the game exciting as the Capitals narrowly defeated the Oilers 3-2.
Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson expressed frustration over the nachos interfering with play, stating he should have played to the whistle in that unusual situation.
Thompson humorously reflected on the nachos incident, acknowledging the fan's contribution but ultimately admitting, 'that one's on me', after he let in the goal.
Perry, oblivious to the nacho distraction, focused solely on the play, showing that sometimes external factors can influence game outcomes without players' awareness.
