Washington took the lead in Dallas early, but had to score two goals in the third period just to force overtime. Once the extra period started, it took just 19 seconds before Jay Beagle scored his 10th goal of the season to give the Capitals the 4-3 road victory.
Andre Burakovsky scored just over two minutes into the game to give Washington the early lead. Burakocsky remained hot, as the goal was his seventh point in five games.
Although things looked to be going good for the Capitals, Dallas answered the Burakovsky strike with three unanswered goals to take a 3-1 lead into the final period.
