Nick Suzuki clinched a thrilling 3-2 overtime victory for the Montreal Canadiens against the Washington Capitals, scoring just 1:15 into the extra frame. This win marks the Canadiens' impressive run, as they have now secured nine victories in their last ten outings. Cole Caufield and Josh Anderson also contributed with goals, while Jakub Dobes emerged as a standout in goal, stopping 15 shots and maintaining an undefeated record of 3-0-0.
The Capitals, despite the loss, had contributions from players like Jakob Chychrun and Lars Eller, with Ethen Frank notably earning his first NHL point in his debut. The team has been struggling recently, having lost three out of their last five games. Goalie Logan Thompson recorded 18 saves after stepping in for Charlie Lindgren, who left the game due to an injury sustained in a collision with Suzuki.
