The Washington Capitals kicked off their 2025 postseason in quite the dramatic fashion last night. The first 50 minutes were all Capitals—all four lines were rolling and Logan Thompson looked excellent in his return to the lineup. Alex Ovechkin got the scoring started for the series, and Anthony Beauvullier put the Caps up 2-0 after two. Unfortunately, Washington completely unraveled after Cole Caufield got the Montreal Canadiens on the board with just under 10 minutes to go. Then Nick Suzuki tied things up six minutes later after a series of failed clearing attempts from the Caps. What better way to welcome Caps fans to the postseason than by Game 1 overtime, right?
