The Canadiens earned a much-needed playoff victory in Game 3 of their first round series against the Capitals.
Cole Caufield and Alex Newhook tallied a goal and an assist each in Montreal’s 6-3 victory. Six players scored a goal for the Canadiens in Game 3.
The Capitals started the scoring early, netting one just 3:20 into the contest. It took until the final minute of the first period for the Canadiens to tie the game.
The second period had more scoring, but it was just as tight. The Canadiens scored another late goal, this time with under 10 seconds remaining in the period, to go up, 3-2. Moments after, Tom Wilson and Josh Anderson got into a fight that tumbled into the benches.
After Alex Ovechkin tied the game early in the third period, the Canadiens finally took control. They scored three unanswered goals to win, 6-3, and avoid trailing 3-0 in the series.
