Chris Kreider was finally able to solve Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby, at the most critical of times.
Kreider’s goal on a snap shot with 1:41 left in the third period finally got the Rangers on the board, sending Game 5 to overtime with New York needing a win to stave off elimination. Just after the midway mark of the third period, Curtis Glencross scored to give Washington a 1-0 lead.
Wicked one-timer by Chris Kreider just as Lundqvist was on his way to bench for extra attacker. Came on 36th shot by NYR. #CapitalsTalk
