Well that escalated quickly.
With overtime looming, Joel Ward ended Game 1 in New York at the 19:58 mark of the third period off a nice feed from Alex Ovechkin, giving the Washington Capitals a 2-1 win over the Rangers.
The goal was Ward's second of the playoffs and literally could not have come at a better time.
