It took 92:36, but the Washington Capitals' comeback came complete.
Jason Chimera's double overtime goal lifted the Caps to a 4-3 victory, giving them a commanding 3-1 series lead.
Down 3-0 at the start of the third period, Marcus Johansson (two goals) and Alexander Semin gave the Caps life and tied the game. A scoreless overtime that saw the Caps have the better chances gave way to a second overtime that saw both teams get their shots in. Henrik Lundqvist made 49 saves, but could not stop Chimera at the doorstep. Johansson entered the zone and left a drop pass for Chimera. Chimera's shot deflected off of Bryan McCabe, but the puck still made its way to the net. As Lundqvist dove to cover the puck, Marian Gaborik attempted to clear the puck, but it hit Chimera square in the chest. The puck dropped down and Chimera was alone to tap it in for the game-winner.
Michal Neuvirth made 36 saves for the victory and did not give up a goal after the second period. With a 3-1 lead, the Caps head home to Verizon Center Saturday afternoon with a chance to close out the series.
