The Caps earn two huge points, winning a contest that included six ties, seven lead changes, two hat tricks and one shootout.
Capitals center Dylan Strome beats Hurricanes goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov for the decisive goal in the shootout Friday night.
Winger Sonny Milano led the way for the Capitals with his first career hat trick. Darcy Kuemper started the game for Washington and made 18 saves on 22 shots; Charlie Lindgren entered to begin the third period and made seven saves — and didn’t allow a goal in the shootout. Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 19 of 25 for Carolina.“Going into the game, we thought, you know, wide open, back-and-forth, that’s what we do,” defenseman John Carlson said, tongue planted firmly in his cheek.
Alex Ovechkin tied the game at two on the power play at 13:59 of the second period, set up for a tap-in finish at the back post by Strome. Less than a minute later, Milano juggled the puck up and over Kochetkov from the front of the net for his second game-tying goal of the game.
