The players apparently weren't happy with ending Game 4 in regulation and decided to take another game, the fourth in this series, into overtime on Friday night. Game 5 started slower than previous games with the first goal coming from T.J. Oshie on the power play with just under two minutes remaining in the first period.

But that buries the lead a bit, because the reason the Caps were on a power play in the first place was a low hip check from Nazem Kadri on Alex Ovechkin, penalized as a trip but could have been a major for clipping.
