Capitals Edge Bruins in Overtime Thriller

Capitals Edge Out Bruins in Thrilling Overtime Victory

Washington, D.C. – April 2, 2025 – In a high-stakes showdown between two Eastern Conference powerhouses, the Washington Capitals defeated the Boston Bruins 4-3 in overtime last night at Capital One Arena. The victory keeps Washington’s playoff hopes alive while dealing a blow to Boston’s quest for home-ice advantage in the postseason.

Game Highlights

The game was a back-and-forth battle from the opening puck drop. The Bruins struck first with a power-play goal from David Pastrnak, his 45th of the season, but the Capitals responded quickly with Alex Ovechkin netting a trademark one-timer to tie the game.

Boston regained the lead in the second period after Brad Marchand capitalized on a defensive miscue, but Washington’s Dylan Strome evened the score with a slick deflection in front of the net. The third period saw both teams exchange goals—Charlie McAvoy blasted a shot past Capitals goaltender Charlie Lindgren, only for Tom Wilson to tie it again with a gritty net-front finish.

Overtime was short-lived as John Carlson sealed the win just 1:32 into the extra frame, firing a wrist shot past Bruins netminder Linus Ullmark to send the home crowd into a frenzy.

Key Takeaways

Ovechkin Watch: With his goal, Ovechkin now sits just 12 goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky’s all-time NHL goals record (894).

Goaltending Duel: Lindgren made 32 saves, including several clutch stops in the third period, while Ullmark turned aside 28 shots in a losing effort.

Playoff Implications: The Capitals (38-28-9) move within two points of the final Wild Card spot, while the Bruins (46-18-10) remain in contention for the Atlantic Division title.

Post-Game Reactions

'We knew this was a must-win,' said Carlson. 'Boston’s a great team, but we stuck to our game and got the job done.'

Bruins coach Jim Montgomery acknowledged the tough loss: 'We had our chances, but Washington capitalized on theirs. We’ll regroup and focus on the next one.'

What’s Next?

The Capitals hit the road to face the Rangers on Thursday, while the Bruins return home for a crucial matchup against the Panthers.
