Ducks let one slip away in overtime
Tom Wilson scored his second goal of the game 1:09 into overtime and the Washington Capitals defeated the Ducks 3-2 on Wednesday night at Honda Center.
Martin Fehervary also scored, Darcy Kuemper made 21 saves and the Capitals won for the second time in three games following a six-game losing skid.
Troy Terry scored for the fourth straight game, Trevor Zegras had a goal and an assist, and the Ducks had their three-game win streak stopped. John Gibson made 36 saves, but the Ducks have not won four in a row this season.
The Capitals needed a victory to stay in the Eastern Conference wild-card race, and Wilson ensured they picked up both points by shooting a bouncing puck between Gibson’s legs off T.J. Oshie’s centering pass during the extra three-onthree hockey.
Wilson scored eight seconds into the third period for a 2-1 lead and Zegras notched 20 goals for the second straight season when he tied it at 4:17.
