Late Penalty Costs Caps in OT

The Capitals hosted Macklin Celebrini and the San Jose Sharks for an interconference matchup Tuesday. With the game tied 1-1 near the end of regulation, Tom Wilson took a double minor, which carried over into overtime before the Sharks scored and won, 2-1.

Wilson was hit with a double minor for high sticking Celebrini with under three minutes left in regulation, before William Eklund scored the game-winning power play goal for San Jose in OT.

The Capitals’ power play was red-hot going into this contest (even without Alex Ovechkin), but the team went 0-for-3 on the man advantage against the Sharks.
