What happened: Alex Tuch fired a shot from the slot at 3:42 of overtime to seal a 4-3 comeback victory for the Washington Capitals over the Buffalo Sabres. The overtime winner arrived four months to the day after the sign-and-trade agreement that moved him from Buffalo to Washington.

Why it matters: Delivering the extra-session decider against his former club highlights Tuch's late-game value in Washington following the offseason swap. For Buffalo, dropping the overtime point after surrendering a lead to its former winger turns a potential regulation road win into a single point in the standings.

What to watch: Both Eastern Conference clubs move ahead with their regular-season schedules following the overtime finish in Washington.
