Hutson's Overtime Goal Gives Capitals A 3-2 Win Over Senators
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Cole Hutson’s goal 74 seconds into overtime, set up by Alex Ovechkin, gave the Washington Capitals to a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night.
Key points
- Halliday left it for Chabot, and as Capitals defenceman Matt Roy lost his footing, Chabot slid the puck over to Hodgson, who ripped home a snap shot like a seasoned goal scorer.
- The Capitals showed life on the power play and maintained control after it expired and capitalized with Hutson finding Dubois at the side of the net for a wide-open shot to tie it at 2 at 12:31 of the third.
- He has 26 goals and joins Alex Ovechkin (64), Alexander Semin (39), Dmitri Khristich (38) and Peter Bondra (29) as one of only five Capitals since 1990 to score 25 or more goals in their first 100 games.
The Capitals opened the scoring just 35 seconds into the game when Roy took a pass from Chychrun and fired a slap shot past Ersson for his first of the season.
The Senators' two-game winning streak ended Tuesday night with a 3-2 overtime loss to the Washington Capitals at Canadian Tire Centre.
Additional details
- Cole Hutson scored the winner in overtime and added an assist for the Capitals.
- With under four minutes to play in the second, the go-ahead goal came from an unlikely source as Hayden Hodgson put the Sens ahead 2-1.
- The penalty carried into overtime, and shortly after it expired, Hutson moved in from the right point and ripped home the winner.
- From behind the Senators' net, Jordan Spence launched a long pass to Stephen Halliday at the far blue line.
- But it was just the second goal of Hodgson's NHL career and his first since his rookie season in 2021-22.
