Alex Ovechkin gives the Caps a 3-2 lead with his second of the game. He has passed Gordie Howe and Sidney Crosby for the 18th most goals in playoff history (22 fewer career games than Howe & 33 fewer than Crosby). It marks Ovechkin's ninth career multi-goal playoff game.

No team has ever trailed by 3 and then led by 4 in a postseason game in NHL history.

I felt these playoffs would be a referendum of sorts on the Flames’ core players. Easier said than done in a (frozen) cap world, but if this score holds and it’s another 1st Rd exit, Calgary could be among the busier front offices.
