Alex Ovechkin once took a photo with Clayton Keller when the Coyotes rookie was 12. Keller scored in overtime to beat the Capitals Friday.

Friday night, the Washington Capitals lost to the league’s worst team, the Arizona Coyotes, in overtime after an amazing passing play between Max Domi and Clayton Keller. Keller, a 19-year-old rookie, slid the puck past Philipp Grubauer’s outstretched pad for the team’s eighth win in 37 games this season.

The goal was Keller’s 13th of the 2017-18 campaign, placing him second among all rookies. For Keller, the goal was also personally significant for another reason.

Overtime sadness: Coyotes beat Caps 3-2

The Washington Capitals and Arizona Coyotes battled to the death in a hockey war that not one human has ever seen prior. Sike, this game was real boring and the sleeping pets everyone sent in on Twitter were the only things keeping me awake.

First period? Just skip it. Nobody did anything. TJ Oshie, definitely spurred on by the cat pics, opened the scoring six minutes into the second.

Christian Dvorak tied things up on a power play. Evgeny Kuznetsov broke that tie minutes later. Fischer re-tied it very late.

Keller finished it in overtime.

Coyotes beat Caps 3-2.
