With Washington back in front, Charlie Lindgren had to come up with some key stops, and he did just that, flashing the glove and showcasing his finesse and athleticism with a big pad save in the final seconds to secure the win. He finished the night with 19 saves on 22 shots for his 50th win as a member of the team.

Ovechkin scored with 53 seconds remaining in the first period, taking a centering pass from Martin Fehervary and flicking it past Ivan Fedotov.
