Tom Wilson’s second goal of the game came 4 minutes into overtime to give the Washington Capitals a 6-5 win over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night. Alex Ovechkin scored his first goal of the season for Washington on a deflection and is now 41 goals shy of Wayne Gretzky for the all-time lead (895).

As celebratory music poured out of the Washington Capitals’ dressing room at Prudential Center, captain Alex Ovechkin leaned against a wall and offered a simple explanation for winger Tom Wilson’s strong start.

It was a see-saw night for the New Jersey Devils who twice fought back for two two-goal deficits against the Washington Capitals to take the game to overtime. The Captials' Tom Wilson's second goal of the game was the overtime winner to end the game and sink the Devils 6-5.
