Capitals' T.J. Oshie: Scores overtime winner against Wild

Oshie scored twice in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win in Minnesota.

Analysis:

Oshie bookended the scoring, giving his team a 1-0 lead 11:36 into the game and ending the contest with the game-winner 1:52 into overtime. He and teammate Alex Ovechkin entered this one tied for the team lead with 30 goals apiece, but the Russian actually ended the night back on top by himself thanks to a hat trick. Both wingers are thriving on a line with Eastern Conference assists leader Nicklas Backstrom, and should continue to do so down the stretch for a Washington team that's inching closer to locking up its second consecutive Presidents' Trophy.
