It wasn’t exactly a closeout or an elimination game, but the ramifications of Monday night’s game couldn’t have been much higher for the Washington Capitals.
A loss would have all but spelled the end for this chapter of the Rock the Red era. Instead, the Caps responded from getting embarrassed in their own barn with a heart-stopping 3-2 overtime win, courtesy Kevin Shattenkirk, over the Pittsburgh Penguins. After Washington surrendered two goals 48 seconds apart in the final two minutes of regulation, Pittsburgh’s lead in this best-of-seven series is now 2-1.
Game 5 in DC will be on Saturday at 7:15 p.m.
