they have to win. at winnipeg to keep it that way. hey, there's head coach barry trotzca, a homecoming for the capitals coach. braden has been huge for washington so far this season. 16 saves in the opening frame of this one as the caps won the penalty kill for a long, long time. now here things get jiffy. these two teams are not geographic rivals but know each other well. tom wilson and michael lata on the right. erving for the caps. you like to see the fiery attitude but here's the problem. all the penalty minutes lead to a power play for winnipeg and with less than ten seconds to go in the first period, andrew ladd slaps one home. 1-0 for the jets after one. power play. niklas backstrom, how about a goal nfor number 19. tied at 1. this went to overtime. and again, just seconds to go.
