Rangers goaltender Alexandar Georgiev throws his stick to try to thwart Alex Ovechkin during the shootout. The Washington Capitals’ captain had already fired six shots at New York Rangers goaltender Alexandar Georgiev, who had kept each one from whizzing past him and into the net. After a second consultation involving video review, ­Georgiev’s action did result in a goal for the Capitals. “I knew 100 percent it was a goal because it was an empty net,” Ovechkin said. That decision paid off on the trio’s first shift, when Hagelin scored his first goal with the Capitals at 2:03.
