Caps Dominate Special Teams and Dismantle Habs—What Went Wrong for Montreal?
After a goal-less first period, Anthony Beauvillier out-dueled two Habs defenders to set up Dylan Strome and the game’s first goal. Ivan Demidov did something similar, using fancy stick-work to give space to Juraj Slafkovsky to score on the power play. Cole Caufield added another power-play goal late in the second period.
Seven minutes into the third, hero of the day Brandon Duhaime tied it, with Connor McMichael crashing the net as a garnish. Andrew Mangiapane scored the game-winner in the final four minutes, calling his own number instead of passing to a wide-open Alex Ovechkin. (Good choice.) Right after the Habs pulled their goalie, Duhaime added an empty-netter. Tom Wilson added another.
