One-minute and thirty-two seconds into the third period, Oilers forward Jujhar Khaira finally got a shot past Braden Holtby, giving the Oilers a 1-0 third period lead.
3:42 later, after Dmitry Orlov and Tom Wilson connected on a stunning give-and-go, the Caps tied.
Orlov was kind of excited.

After finding Wilson along the side boards, Orlov raced past his defender. Wilson then hit Orlov with a perfect backhand pass. Orly took care of the rest.

Check out Orly’s celebration.
I have never seen this man happier.

The assist was Tom Wilson’s 50th of his career and his fifth point of the season. See: This is what he can do when he stays on the ice.
