Flames 3, Capitals 2 (OT)
WASHINGTON -- Sean Monahan scored his second goal of the game 1:40 into overtime and the Calgary Flames recovered after giving up a 2-0 lead in the third period to defeat the Washington Capitals 3-2 in overtime on Friday night.
Right winger Michael Frolik also scored for Calgary (6-11-1) and goalie Karri Ramo stopped 34 shots.
Monahan's winner came during a two-on-two rush when he took a pass from defenseman T.J. Brodie and fired just under the crossbar for his sixth goal of the season.
Capitals right winger Jay Beagle had tied the score with 4:48 left in regulation.
Center Michael Latta also scored for Washington (11-4-1) and Philipp Grubauer made 26 saves.
Washington left winger Alex Ovechkin was scoreless and will have to wait at least one more game for goal No. 484, which will move him ahead of Sergei Fedorov in career goals scored by Russian-born NHL players.
Shortly after being denied in front of the net by Grubauer, Monahan made it 2-0 at 1:32 of the third period when he skated into the Washington zone, veered to the center and fired over Grubauer's right shoulder from high in the slot.
Latta pulled the Capitals within 2-1 when he scored his first goal of the season, putting his own rebound between Ramo's legs at 5:41 of the third period. It was Latta's first goal in 66 games, dating to November 2013.
Beagle's equalizer came when he found himself alone in front, took a pass from left winger Andre Burakovsky with his back to Ramo, turned and fired past the Calgary goalie.
Flames center Sam Bennett's play along the right boards led to the game's first goal at 7:35 of the second period.
The rookie used a spin move to elude Washington left winger Jason Chimera, then from the circle fed Frolik in the slot. Frolik snapped a shot past Grubauer on the glove slide for his fourth goal of the season.
Bennett now has 11 points, with four goals and six assists coming in his last nine games.
Both goalies were sharp during a scoreless first period.
Ramo made a sliding pad save on right winger Justin Williams and stops on center Jay Beagle and Burakowsky on attempts from the slot midway through the period.
Grubauer preserved the tie when he deflected a point blank attempt by right winger David Jones in the final minute of the period. Ramo then opened the second period by blocking Williams' backhand attempt on a breakaway two minutes in.
