3 – Number of defensemen in Capitals’ franchise history who have scored a game-winning goal in overtime of a playoff series (per Elias). That elite club now includes Kevin Shattenkirk thanks to his Game 3 tally last night, joining Rod Langway (4/25/90 against the Rangers) and Mike Green (5/4/13, also against the Rangers).
The OT strike from Shattenkirk also marked his first career postseason overtime winner – and perhaps more surprisingly, his first playoff power-play goal – in 56 games played.
