Headed into the third period, the Caps were down 2-1. Their backs were against the wall and facing elimination.
The Caps proceeded to score three unanswered goals to start the stanza, including back-to-back goals from Evgeny Kuznetsov and Alex Ovechkin 27-seconds apart.
YEAH! The CARDIAC CAPS ARE BACK!
The Washington Capitals were playing too good not to get back into this one. Down 2-0 to the Penguins after two early goals by Sidney Crosby, the Caps dominated play.
It paid off in a tremendous sequence that we’d like to relive with you right now.
Alex Ovechkin, as we all know, was grown in a vat somewhere deep underground in the Soviet Union for the sole purpose of scoring playoff goals.
Early into Game Four, Ovi did what Ovi does.
Everybody, please welcome Alex Ovechkin to the 2017 playoffs. In the second period of the second game of the first round, Ovi booked a cruise to Ovi Island, where not a single Leaf could be found.
Cue the pass. Cue the goal.
