A third consecutive overtime contest was finished by to give the Capitals the Game 3 win.
Here’s Wednesday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: Washington converted a (post-whistle) Brad Marchand minor penalty into their first lead of the game.
Minus: The Capitals took five minor penalties and the last one exactly as the fifth should.
Ten more notes on the game:
- Ilya Samsonov made his NHL playoff debut (and return to the lineup) in Boston against a Bruins squad returning home to their fans. It was a super size request of the 24 year old.
