Two games, two overtimes.
The Washington Capitals and Toronto Maple Leafs were fit to be tied once again, as Nicklas Backstrom banged the puck past Frederik Andersen to tie the score at three apiece with 7:21 remaining in the third period.
The goal was Backstrom's first of the playoffs, rendering him understandably excited.
