The Carolina Hurricanes beat the Ottawa Senators 8-2 at PNC Arena, Monday. And there was a party atmosphere throughout the game.
As Fox Sports South went live on the concourse, Hurricanes fans stood in the background of the set hoping to get on TV. One fan, however, was more hungry than starstruck and carried out what ESPN is calling “the greatest theft ever captured on film 🍦.”
TJ Oshie scored two minutes and 14 seconds into overtime to give the Capitals a thrilling 4-3 comeback victory over the Arizona Coyotes. It was the Osh Babe’s second goal of the night and came minutes after his game-tying goal late in the third period. Except, there was a problem.
On the play, as Lars Eller tried to carry the puck into the offensive zone, the Tiger fell over at the blue line. It may have thrown TJ Oshie offside. Uh oh.
So the NHL’s Situation Room initiated a review of the goal, pouring through all their fancy replay angles to see if Oshie entered the O-zone before the puck completely crossed the blue line.
The Washington Capitals came into Monday night’s action on a six game winning streak, looking to make it seven against the mediocre Arizona Coyotes. A few unlucky bounces here and a few huge saves from Antti Raanta there, and the Caps fell 4-3 to the Coyotes in a game decided by the shootout.
The Yotes out-shot the Caps 35 to 34, but were out-attempted at five-on-five 52 to 43.

The Capitals honored the armed forces at Monday night’s game, which coincided with Veteran’s Day. The annual Military Appreciation Night featured the US Army Chorus Quartet singing the national anthem and special programming during intermissions to celebrate the men and women who have served.
During warm-ups before the game, Capitals players wore dark green, military-inspired jerseys, which were then auctioned along with autographed sticks and pucks to benefit TAPS (The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors). TAPS is a nonprofit which offers compassionate care to families grieving the loss of a loved one in the armed forces.
By the end of the night, the Capitals had raised $59,675 for TAPS.
