Connor McMichael<\/a> and Justin Sourdif<\/a> each had a goal and an assist, and Tom Wilson<\/a> and John Carlson<\/a> each had two assists for the Capitals (25-21-7), who have lost five of their past six games (1-4-1). Lindgren made 34 saves.<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved our game tonight, I thought our guys fought like hell tonight,\u201d said Capitals coach Spencer Carbery, whose team won 3-1 at the Calgary Flames on Friday. \u201cIt\u2019s as difficult a game as we have on the schedule, and then you put in the travel, last night getting in at 4 a.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust the way we fought through the adversity of the game, the ups and downs. We were up, and now it\u2019s back to even, I\u2019m just real proud of the way we played tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bouchard put the Oilers up 1-0 with 48 seconds left in the first period, taking a cross-ice pass from Mattias Ekholm<\/a> and scoring on a wrist shot from the point off the left post.<\/p>\n

Just 22 seconds later, Aliaksei Protas<\/a> tied it 1-1, picking up the rebound off a shot from the slot by Rasmus Sandin<\/a> and backhanding it past Ingram\u2019s extended stick at 19:34.<\/p>\n

The Oilers outshot Washington 10-2 in the opening period.<\/p>\n

Bouchard gave the Oilers a 2-1 lead at 4:13 of the second period, with another wrist shot from the high slot that went in off Lindgren\u2019s glove. The goalie ended up tossing his trapper into the net as he reached back for the puck.<\/p>\n

Draisaitl recorded the 600th assist of his career on the play.<\/p>\n

Sourdif tied it 2-2 at 6:50 on a 2-on-1 rush alongside McMichael, winning a chase for the puck in the neutral zone and then pulling up at the left dot to take a wrist shot that beat Ingram near post.<\/p>\n

Anthony Beauvillier<\/a> gave Washington a 3-2 lead at 14:29, sending a wrist shot from the boards at the far edge of the left circle that bounced off the skate boot of Oilers defenseman Spencer Stastney<\/a> and through Ingram\u2019s legs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we play like that every night, we give ourselves a really good chance to win some games,\u201d Beauvillier said. \u201cThat\u2019s just the way it goes sometimes, it\u2019s been a grind lately. But I think we gave ourselves the best chance to win tonight and this is how it\u2019s going to have to look if we want to win.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s still a huge point for us, but it\u2019s unfortunate when it ends like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bouchard tied it 3-3 at 4:30 of the third period, skating into the slot and firing a wrist shot high off the left post.<\/p>\n

\u201cNever had a hat trick. It\u2019s my first one,\u201d Bouchard said. \u201cI was definitely excited. It kept us in the game, it was a big goal for us at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was huge for us, being down in the last minute and not quitting, getting the tying goal, it\u2019s a big home stand for us, but we have to build off that and keep it going the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Connor McMichael and Justin Sourdif each had a goal and an assist, and Tom Wilson and John Carlson…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":432248,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-432247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=432247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432247\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/432248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=432247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=432247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=432247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
