Goals Galore In Penguins OT Win Over The Capitals

from Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post,

Both teams had scored touchdowns — and extra points — so sudden death overtime had to settle it. The next goal would really be the winner.

And after a goal-scoring clinic, a bounce decided it. A shot by Pittsburgh’s Conor Sheary was initially stopped but then slowly dribbled past the goal line after going off the skate of Washington defenseman Matt Niskanen just 34 seconds into overtime, lifting the Penguins to an 8-7 win and snapping the Capitals’ season-best nine-game winning streak.

Was that one of the crazier games Justin Williams has been a part of in his 16-year career?

“Yep. Mm-hmmm,” the Capitals forward said.

“Yeah, that’s safe to say,” Capitals center Lars Eller agreed.
