On the deciding goal, Sourdif cut to the net to follow up his own shot from the right circle and buried a loose puck while defenceman John Carlson was providing traffic in front. Jakob Chychrun's game-tying wrist shot goal from the high slot with 6:42 minutes left in regulation brought Washington completely out of a 3-0 deficit and forced the extra session.
