"The Caps burst out to an early lead, notching two goals in the first 135 seconds - a rebound from Strome, back from injury, and a give-and-go from Protas with the help of Connor McMichael. Washington looked triumphant for all of 15 seconds, which is when Tage Thompson got a sweet setup from Jason Zucker below the goal line. Alex Tuch tucked the puck under Chuck to tie the game,"
"Referees Garret Rank and Liam Maaskant gave the Caps three power plays in the third period, and they did positively butt with it. Tied 3-3 after three, on we went to overtime. There the Capitals had absolute control over the puck but did nothing with it. Shootout bullets! Quinn did NOT put the biscuit in the basket. Strome did NOT put the biscuit in the basket. Thompson did NOT put the biscuit in the basket. Beauvillier did NOT put the biscuit in the basket."
The Washington Capitals scored two quick goals in the first 135 seconds, including a rebound from Strome and a Protas give-and-go assisted by Connor McMichael. Buffalo answered late in the first when Alex Tuch tied the game and Isak Rosen banked a shot off Martin Fehervary to put Buffalo ahead 3-2. Sonny Milano deflected a second-period goal, his first in 567 days, to tie the game. The Capitals received three third-period power plays but failed to convert, controlled overtime without scoring, and lost in the shootout after Alex Byram scored.
