Engelland caught deep, Caps quickly transition and Vrana beats Fleury for 1-0 lead. Wilson with the quick outlet pass to spring him.

Ovechkin on the one-timer, from his office, 2-1 Caps.

Dan Rosen, @drosennhl
Alex Ovechkin now has the most goals by a Capitals' player scored in one postseason (15). John Carlson now has the most career points by a Capitals' defenseman in the playoffs (55).

David Schoen, @DavidSchoenLVRJ
GOAL. Tatar redirects the Miller shot/pass as Perron gets dumped into the net by Djoos. Might be Tatar's goal. Might be Perron's. Either way we're tied...unless it's overturned.
7:04 left 2nd: VGK 2, WSH 2

Vegas on their heels a bit through the first of the half of the third and the Caps tie it on a great Devante Smith-Pelly play going skate to stick (again) and scoring as he's falling to the ice.

What's another 5:42 minutes to go for a Washington Capitals organization that's waited 44 years for this, right?
