Over the last two Wednesdays, the Washington Capitals raised a Stanley Cup banner and played a Stanley Cup rematch. Their third Wednesday of the NHL season was a return to normalcy, but they still treated the crowd to an overtime finish and a win.
Defenseman Matt Niskanen notched the overtime game-winner as the Capitals beat the New York Rangers 4-3 at Capital One Arena.
John Carlson posted a goal and two assists and Alex Ovechkin scored two power-play goals to carry Washington. Nicklas Backstrom had two assists and Braden Holtby finished with 29 saves.
