Cole Hutson scored 1:14 into overtime to give the Washington Capitals a 3–2 win over the Ottawa Senators on November 10. He also set up Pierre-Luc Dubois’ third-period equalizer.
How Washington recovered
Ottawa outshot Washington 17–2 in the second period and took a 2–1 lead. Washington then went more than 21 minutes without putting a shot on goal. The Capitals still entered the third within one goal, and Dubois tied it after receiving a pass across the ice from Hutson.
Hutson finished the comeback in overtime with traffic in front of Ottawa goalie Samuel Ersson. Logan Thompson made 23 saves for Washington. The second-period shot count and the one-goal deficit tell different parts of the story: Ottawa controlled that stretch, but Washington stayed close enough to force overtime with one goal.
Ottawa forward Nick Cousins left the game late in regulation after a hit along the boards by Jakob Chychrun, according to the NHL’s recap.
