What a crazy game number three!
With less than 10 seconds left in the second period, Montreal took a one-goal lead.
Thanks to Lane Hutson and Cole Caufield.
CAUFIELDDDDD

Seconds later, Josh Anderson and Tom Wilson, who have been looking for each other since the start of the series, battled it out…
On the Capitals bench? I’ve never seen anything like it.

The linesman tried to separate them, but he’s no stronger than the two power forwards.
The Caps coaches, who were still on the bench, tried to get out of the way. Ayoye!
It was the end of the period, so the officials watched the video replays to see which players would get penalties.
Overtime
I don’t know that without Arber Xhekaj, the game would be this crazy.
During the warm-up period, the defender spoke with a few Washington players, including Wilson, who was manhandled/targeted throughout the game.
