Cole Hutson's overtime goal gives the Capitals a 3-2 win over the Senators in Ottawa.

Alex Ovechkin set up Hutson's winner 74 seconds into overtime, according to the AP. Ottawa had led 2-1 after two periods, but Pierre-Luc Dubois tied it for Washington at 12:31 of the third. Ottawa's two-game winning streak ended, and Nick Cousins needed help off the ice after a hit from Jakob Chychrun that drew no penalty.

No. 2 in the 30-second version

Nick Cousins left the ice with help after a hit from Jakob Chychrun in Ottawa's loss to Washington.

Chychrun was originally given a major penalty, but video review led to no penalty, which upset many Ottawa fans. Cousins's head struck the glass and he appeared to lose consciousness before landing face-first, and he was down on the ice for a couple of minutes. Fans debated whether the hit was clean, and Fabian Zetterlund was sent to the box for shooting the puck over the glass late in a tie game.

No. 3 in the 30-second version

Senators start Samuel Ersson again as Linus Ullmark stays out and Ridly Greig returns to the lineup.

Ersson has won his last three games, allowing just four goals over that stretch, and Ottawa went 4-3-1 during Ullmark's absence. Carter Yakemchuk was a healthy scratch, and Jackson Parsons was recalled as backup. Former Senator Jakob Chychrun, traded to Washington in 2024, has 11 points in his first 15 games this season.
