10 Lars Eller Game 3 goal at Columbus
Down in a 2-0 series hole to the Columbus Blue Jackets, a resilent Capitals team fought back. Braden Holtby made 33 saves for a .943 save percentage. Tom Wilson would get the scoring started and John Carlson would add another goal.
Pierre-Luc Dubois and Artemi Panarin had the goals for the opposition. After an overtime where no one scored the game would head to a second overtime where Lars Eller tipped in a shot from Brett Connolly at the nine minute mark to completely turn the course of the series.
Eller told Mitch Stacy of the AP after the win
"It means a ton, a win like this after playing for that long. I'm sure they feel a lot more tired in that room than we are feeling right now. It gives you a lot of energy. It's going to be a battle again in Game 4"Lars Eller
Barry Trotz added in the same story, "We got some good fortune, but we also executed and we were committed today."
Brett Connolly, who provided the assist, said "We got a break, it's what we needed. You need breaks, every team is so good now, you need to keep pressing and pressing.
