The Canadiens took on the Capitals tonight, and it didn't start well for the Montrealers.
Washington dominated the first two periods and, after 40 minutes of play, were leading 2-0.
However, if you think the CH are going to feel sorry for themselves, you don't know them very well…
In the third period, Montreal scored not one, but two goals to force overtime.
First, Cole Caufield scored his fifth elimination goal on the power play.

Then, Nick Suzuki was extremely patient and created the tie.
“Lane Hutson is not a playoff defenseman and he's going to have a lot of trouble”. On both goals, he picked up an assist.
Not bad…

After 60 minutes, the visitors have 34 shots on target.
Washington is far from unbeatable.
Overtime
Up until the third period, the home side had a clear advantage over their opponents.
They were bigger, stronger and much more relentless. A stupid penalty by Pierre-Luc Dubois turned the tide.
Josh Anderson took care of Tom Wilson. He and his team didn't let it get to them.
