Both of Tom Wilson‘s clutch goals came in the early parts. His third period tally which tied the game came 44 seconds into the third while his overtime goal came 17 seconds in. The Washington Capitals got on the board early 25 seconds in with John Carlson banging in a pass from Michal Kempny in front of the net with a bouncing puck that trickled past Sergei Bobrovsky.
Alex Ovechkin got the secondary assist and T.J. Oshie had a screen in front of the net that initially looked like it went off him.
