Despite finding themselves down by two goals heading into the third period, the Washington Capitals never quit and fought back for a big comeback victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Alexander Ovechkin slammed home the game-winning goal just 22 seconds into overtime to give the Caps the 6-5 victory.
For as good as Washington’s defense was Sunday night in the 2-1 victory over Ottawa, it was equally as poor Tuesday. Braden Holtby allowed three goals on eight shots and was pulled after the first period.
Philipp Grubauer came on in relief and allowed two goals while making 15 stops.
