""Just tried to rim it around," DeBrincat said after the game. "I'm not sure what it hit, maybe the dasher or whatever. I saw it come off and go off something, and I knew it had a chance to go in. Those ones are pretty tricky. Obviously, a lucky bounce.""
""I mean, I just saw him dump it in," Dylan Larkin said. "He jumped up. I was just going to forecheck, so I didn't even see it. It's hard to track pucks on the glass. There are black seats and people there. You kind of just wait for it to come down. Good bounce for us... finally.""
The Washington Capitals held a 3-1 lead late in the third period before the Detroit Red Wings scored two 6-on-5 goals in the final 1:40 to force overtime. The first 6-on-5 goal displayed skill, while the game-tying goal resulted from a dumped puck that struck glass and a photographer-controlled camera hole in the cornerboards, then deflected into the net past the Capitals' goalie. The goal counted as Alex DeBrincat's 30th of the season, the fifth time he has reached that mark. The camera hole opening and resulting ricochet produced an unusually fortunate and game-changing bounce.
