Thomas Chabot scored in overtime to earn the Ottawa Senators some retribution in their 5-4 win over the Washington Capitals on Thursday night. Special teams were the overall difference for the Senators.
However, Alex Ovechkin and Dylan Strome didn't like that storyline, and refused to let their team leave empty-handed. The two led a furious rally in the third period to force overtime, but ultimately, a lack of discipline and a rough go-of-it led to a 5-4 loss.
