"The Washington Capitals returned to DC just in time to shut down the Tampa Bay Lightning with a stirring overtime win. Jake Guentzel owned the lone goal of the first period, a layup after a face-off in the Caps' zone. There was just one goal in the second as well, as Connor Michael delivered a perfect pass from below the goal line to Aliaksei Protas, who was wearing his Metal Gear Solid stealth camouflage."
"Early in the third, Brayden Point got a touch on a power-play shot down the gullet to put the Bolts back ahead. The Washington Capitals - and brace yourself here - scored a power-play goal, with Tom Wilson deflecting Dylan Strome's slot shot. In overtime, and after Strome hit the post, Jakob Chychrun finished it off a pass from Tom Wilson. Caps win!"
"Tom Wilson had a point on all three Caps goals. Pierre-Luc Dubois missed the game with a mysterious lower-body injury. The Washington Capitals have had eleven power-play opportunities. The first ten passed without notice, ranking them worst in league, even if the NHL calls that a four-way tie for 29th. There's a lot going wrong with the PP, but Tom Wilson planting himself in front of the net can right a lot of wrongs."
