Dowd gave Washington a 1-0 lead at 6:27, beating Gibson over his glove from the left face-off circle after a pass from Connor McMichael<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After Chiarot tied the game at 9:52 of the second period, the Capitals took a 2-1 lead at 9:36 of the third period. A partially blocked shot went off Gibson\u2019s pad and the skate of Red Wings defenseman Axel Sandin-Pellikka<\/a>. Gibson tried to cover the loose puck, but Strome tapped it away, circled the net and wrapped the puck inside the post for his 15th goal.<\/p>\n

The Red Wings challenged for goaltender interference, but the call was confirmed.<\/p>\n

Chisholm gave Washington a 3-1 lead at 14:44, tipping Chychrun\u2019s shot past Gibson for his first goal of the season.<\/p>\n

DeBrincat scored at 18:20, cutting the deficit to 3-2, then tied the game at 19:07 when his dump-in took a bad bounce off the glass and beat Lindgren for his 30th goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never seen anything like that and we might never see it again,\u201d Washington coach Spencer Carbery said. \u201cThere\u2019s a hole in the glass for cameras with a little door to close it, and the puck hit the hole just as the photographer was trying to close it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe League said if the puck had hit a camera, it wouldn\u2019t have counted, but since it hit the door, it was a good goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lindgren was injured in the final moments of overtime, but stayed in the game for the shootout.<\/p>\n

\u201cLindgren got hurt or banged up on that last sort of sequence in overtime, so now he’s battling to make saves in the shootout,\u201d Carbery said. \u201cYou have to hand it to our guys for stepping up with some big goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first four players scored in the shootout, but Dylan Larkin<\/a> hit the crossbar before Dowd scored to win it.<\/p>\n

Dowd was an unlikely choice to get the winner — as far as he could remember, it was only the second shootout attempt of his 11-season career. While playing for the Los Angeles Kings, he missed against Connor Hellebuyck<\/a> in a 3-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Nov. 13, 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had one 10 years ago — I came in and blasted it over the net and we lost,\u201d he said. \u201cI didn\u2019t want (Lindgren) to have to face another shot after everything he had done to give us a chance to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

NOTES: Dowd was a little hazy on the details of his first shootout attempt. He thought it was in the second game of his career — a game the Kings did lose to the Jets on March 24, 2016 — but the shootout attempt came in his 19th game early in his second season. \u2026 Kane\u2019s assist was his 30th point (11 goals, 19 assists) in 29 games against the Capitals. \u2026 The three-point game was the 10th of Chychrun\u2019s career and second at Little Caesars Arena. He had two goals and an assist for the Arizona Coyotes in a 9-2 win on March 8, 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dowd gave Washington a 1-0 lead at 6:27, beating Gibson over his glove from the left face-off circle…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":446924,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-446923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=446923"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446923\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/446924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=446923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=446923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=446923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
