In the thrilling Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Washington Capitals emerged victorious against the Montreal Canadiens with a 3-2 overtime win, thanks largely to Alex Ovechkin's standout performance. Ovechkin showcased his skills by scoring two goals, including the decisive game-winner, and celebrated his 73rd career playoff goal, solidifying his position as the top active scorer in playoff history. He was instrumental in setting up Anthony Beauvillier for a key goal, demonstrating both his scoring ability and playmaking skills. The Capitals displayed impressive teamwork and physicality throughout the game, racking up 30 hits while outhitting the Canadiens. Dylan Strome shone with two assists, and goaltender Logan Thompson had a strong debut, stopping 33 of the 35 shots he faced.

With a disciplined game plan and commitment to their roles, the Capitals aimed to build on this momentum as they prepared for Game 2 of the series. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
