Capitals Edge Out Blue Jackets in Thrilling Overtime Victory

Washington, D.C. – April 13, 2025 – The Washington Capitals secured a hard-fought 4-3 overtime victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets in a high-energy matchup at Capital One Arena on Saturday night. The win keeps the Capitals in playoff contention as the regular season nears its conclusion.

Game Highlights

The Capitals struck first with an early power-play goal from Alex Ovechkin, who blasted a one-timer past Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins for his 35th goal of the season. Columbus responded quickly, with Johnny Gaudreau tying the game with a slick wrist shot.

The second period saw both teams exchange chances, but it was the Blue Jackets who took a 2-1 lead after Boone Jenner capitalized on a defensive miscue. Washington answered back when Dylan Strome buried a rebound to even the score heading into the third.

In a back-and-forth final frame, Tom Wilson gave the Capitals a 3-2 lead with a gritty net-front goal, but Columbus refused to go away. With just under two minutes remaining, Kirill Marchenko fired a laser past Charlie Lindgren to force overtime.

Overtime Heroics

Just 1:32 into the extra period, John Carlson sealed the win for Washington, rifling a slap shot from the point to send the home crowd into a frenzy.

Key Takeaways

Ovechkin continues his chase for history, now just 42 goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky’s all-time NHL record.

Lindgren made 28 saves, including several clutch stops in overtime.

Columbus’ Gaudreau finished with a goal and an assist, extending his point streak to five games.
