"Nic Dowd opened the scoring with a great shot to cap off a great shift. Ben Chiarot let go a shot from the point that eluded Charlie Lindgren to tie the game. Dylan Strome put the Capitals back in front with a dogged, wraparound effort. Declan Chisholm deflected home his first of the season to extend the lead. Alex DeBrincat scored two late goals, the latter being the most brutal bounce of all time."
"Nothing in overtime, so the dreaded shootout bullets: Raymond put the biscuit in the basket. Strome put the biscuit in the basket. Kane put the biscuit in the basket. Leonard put the biscuit in the basket. Larkin did not put the biscuit in the basket. Dowd put the biscuit in the basket. Capitals beat Red Wings 4-3! Outside of the first five or so minutes, I thought the Capitals had a really good road first period."
