Washington Capitals' Mathieu Perreault scored the game-winning goal 4:48 into overtime, as the Caps won over the Chicago Blackhawks, 3-2, in preseason play.
Kyle Wilson and Chris Clark each secured a goal and an assist for the Caps -- and rookie goaltender Michal Neuvirth turned aside 24-of-26 shots, tremendously impressing in both penalty kill and overtime and keeping the Caps in the game until Wilson scored the tie with 2:47 left in the third period. Perreault stepped up with a rebound off a shot by Shaone Morrison to capture the Capitals win in overtime.
The Blackhawks sent many of last season's regular players onto the ice, while the Caps chose to give experience to the team's younger players.
For the Blackhawks, Patrick Sharp and Jack Skille each scored a goal, and goalie Cristobal Huet saved 27-of-30 shots.
The win gave the Caps 2-0-0 in preseason play -- with both wins earned during extra time. Washington's star Alex Ovechkin is among several Capitals players who yet to be seen on the ice in preseason play. Sphere: Related Content
