The Washington Capitals beat the Ottawa Senators 3-2 on Tuesday night after Cole Hutson scored 74 seconds into overtime. All reports agree the winning goal comes shortly into the extra period and is set up by Alex Ovechkin.
The accounts also describe Washington’s difficult middle stretch: one report says the Capitals allow two goals in the second period and trail 2-1. Another notes Ottawa carries a third-period lead into late regulation, but Washington ultimately forces overtime and scores the winner.
Coverage differs in emphasis. One outlet highlights a concern around Nick Cousins, who leaves the game after a hit from former Senator Jakob Chychrun, while others focus mainly on the game-winning goal and the turning points around the periods. Despite that variation, the core result—Capitals win in overtime on Hutson’s goal—is consistent across sources.
