Hidden Game: Tired Canadiens lose to Capitals in overtime
The Canadiens, arguably, were the better team on this night and carried a 2-0 lead into the third period. Glass half-full. But Montreal ultimately fell victim to fatigue more than anything else, losing 3-2 in overtime, thanks to Connor McMichael’s winning goal. Montreal was less than two minutes from a regulation victory, and 39 seconds away from sending the game to a shootout.
