(Caps Outsider)
There was a question if Alex Ovechkin would even play on Saturday considering he hasn’t practiced since he and his fellow Russian teammates were put in seclusion for breaking COVID protocols. Instead, he played and scored the overtime goal in a 4-3 game that the Capitals probably didn’t deserve to win.
With a 3-0 lead, but being badly outshot, the Caps had too much time to kill. The Bruins clawed their way back, scoring their third goal with the goalie pulled and sending the game into overtime. Much of the game was spent in the Caps’ zone, as the Bruins outshot the Caps 42-21 in regulation.
