6:41 pm

6:42 pm
he's lucky there was a tired bruins fourth line on the ice. >> mike: gets on to backstrom with a step and a drive. and looking behind was thomas as it rattled loose and kicked out of play. >> pierre: we saw chris kelly end the game from there in game one in overtime. this is the second overtime. it's tim thomas. does he deflect that with his head? >> mike: second look, slowed down, looked like it did. he gonged that one out of play. the face-off remains near him. a feed on back to backstrom. he scores! backstrom, the capitals have evened the series! braden holtby faced 44 bruin shots, stopped 43.
6:43 pm
nick backstrom has won it in o.t. and the best of seven is even at one. >> pierre: here you go. face-off situation. marcus johansson wins a battle. gets it out front. and it's swede to swede. it's johansson to backstrom and it's how sweet it is to the back of the net for the washington capitals. and the series is tied at 1. >> mike: and there are the capitals reacting. they see the opportunity and they see the result. over the boards they come. it is guaranteed to go at least five. the feedback out from johansson, i don't know if it got tipped on the way. but backstrom has registered the overtime winner.
6:44 pm
that's his second of his very brief nhl playoff career. braden holtby is with pierre. >> pierre: what was the hardest part of this game for you? >> i think the hardest part was coming back from the late goal in the third. we knew what was on the table. we bounced back as a group. it's a huge win for us. >> pierre: take us inside your dressing room. what was said after the first overtime preparing for the second overtime? >> it was actually good. there wasn't much said. i think everyone could feel the confidence in the room. it's good. our leaders stepped up. nicky got the huge goal. >> pierre: you've always had this per spgs of being so unflappable. where does that come from? >> a lot of teaching. i haven't been like that forever. but working on my craft. mental game is a big thing for a goalie. i'm far from where i want to be. but it's getting there.

>> pierre: you'll get last change when you go to home ice. do you expect the series to open up a little bit because of match-ups? >> i don't know. i'm going to be prepared for to it open up. i have to prepare that way. but i don't think we're going to give up anything defensively. i think we're happy where our defensive game is right now. we're going to continue that way. >> pierre: thanks for your time. see you for game three. >> thanks, pierre. >> mike: backstrom from johansson, the scoring play at 2:56 of the second overtime period. tomorrow, the stanley cup playoffs presented by geico continue on nbc with an nhl double-header, predators/red wings. then penguins and flyers. every game, every night, because it's the cup. it's the cup. coming up, your local news. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com
