Seriously?! That's how they wanted to start the series? Talk about a nail biter! No score after two periods and the Rangers were the first to score early in the third period. Luckily Ovechkin got one in on Lundqvist (after a review in Toronto) to tie the game. It would be that goal that sent the game into OT. And a long OT it was. Over 18 minutes into overtime, Arnott set up Semin for the game winning goal, giving the Capitals their first win of the series. The two teams will meet again tomorrow night at 7:30pm in Washington.
To recap the rest of last night's action:
The Red Wings came back from an early 1-0 deficit to defeat the Coyotes 4-2. The Red Wings lead the series 1-0.
The Penguins defeated the Lightning 3-0, in one of two shutouts in opening night. The Penguins lead the series 1-0.
The Canucks shutout the defending Cup champions, the Chicago Blackhawks, in a 2-0 victory. The Canucks lead the series 1-0.
The Predators defeated the Ducks, 4-1, in a very important game 1 win. The Predators lead the series 1-0.
Tonight's match-ups are:
Montreal Canadiens vs Boston Bruins @ 7pm
Buffalo Sabres vs Philadelphia Flyers @ 7:30pm
LA Kings vs San Jose Sharks @ 10pm
And as promised, here is the latest beard picture! There is only one tonight. I was informed there would only be a brother picture on Penguin game days.
I hope everyone is enjoying all the great playoff action! Time to go get in all the hockey I can before it's all gone!
