In the Capitals’ 300th career Stanley Cup Playoff game they gave it away, gifting Florida a 5 to 3 Game 5 victory.
Here’s Wednesday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: T.J. Oshie’s two goal game.
Minus: Giving up a three goal lead in 7:51. Unbelievable stuff.
Game notes:
- Six minutes into the contest Carter Verhaeghe tripped Alex Ovechkin in the offensive zone, bringing Washington’s man advantage unit out. And after hitting the crossbar early the Capitals converted, with Oshie tipping a John Carlson shot behind Sergei Bobrovsky.
- The power play goal is Washington’s sixth of the series (and Oshie’s third).
