We got to overtime and never really got possession of the puck.
“We found ourselves in a game where I thought we could have had the lead at times. “The guys played hard, they never stopped playing,” coach Peter Laviolette said. Lya Samsonov stopped 15 of 18 shots before being replaced by Vitek Vanecek in the second period. Connor McMichael, Tom Wilson and Daniel Sprong also scored for the Capitals. Alex Ovechkin scored his 10th goal of the season and had two assists for Washington.
