It was another memorable night for Alex Ovechkin and his teammates. The Washington Capitals won a 4-3 overtime thriller over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The win improves their record to 9-2-3 and their nine wins in the month of October ties a franchise record that was set in the 1991-92 season. They additionally set a new franchise high for points with 21, their previous best coming in the 2009-10 season (19).
The Maple Leafs took the early lead 40 seconds in on a goal from Andreas Johnsson after a Michal Kempny turnover.
