The young Buffalo star had a hat trick, finishing his feat in overtime to hand Washington a 5-4 loss.

“I just want to say that our thoughts and our hearts and prayers are with Damar and his family, the entire Bills organization,” Adams said. Following Tuesday’s game, Sabres General Manager Kevyn Adams spoke to reporters in place of the players and Coach Don Granato, who wore a “3” pin on his suit. Hathaway was shifted to a line with Eller and Anthony Mantha. The Capitals held a “moment of support” for him before the game. Laviolette broke up the stout fourth line of Dowd, Garnet Hathaway and Aliaksei Protas and used each as an asset on separate lines. It was his 10th goal of the season; his career high is 11. “It is unfortunate,” Laviolette said. Ovechkin kept it going with his 808th goal in the third. It was his sixth of the season. To get there, Washington (21-13-6) weathered a brief five-on-three penalty kill and then killed off nearly two minutes of four-on-three to start the extra period. “He is a skilled player that competes hard. “It is not a good look that you want to have.”

“We turned the puck over too much and they had the jump on us, I thought," coach Peter Laviolette said. Alex Tuch also scored off a spinning pass from Thompson, and Tyson Jost tied it in the third period after the Sabres let a 3-1 lead slip away. Although this was a Buffalo road game, the Capitals paid tribute to Hamlin with a moment of support before the national anthem, which Adams said the team and city appreciated. “I think what comes through from our players is how much they care about the people in Buffalo,” Adams said. It was evident from the “LOVE FOR 3” shirts players wore into the arena to Hamlin's jersey number in Bills colors on the lapel of general manager Kevyn Adams, who did not even want to talk about Tage Thompson's hat trick and his team's seventh victory in eight games. One of the new faces of the Sabres franchise, Thompson now has 30 goals this season.

He managed to score thirteen goals and nine assists, for a total of 22 points in 15 games. “We’re playing a team that’s young and fast and is dynamic offensively, you know? The young star put up amazing stats all season so far, currently at 30 goals, 25 assists, and 55 points. “I think he’s kind of put himself up there with the elite group in the world as far as hockey goes,” Oshie claimed. Caps forward Sonny Milano, who opened the scoring for the Capitals, is apparently no stranger to Thompson’s skillsets. In Game One, the Caps discovered what a lot of the league has already learned: That Tage Thompson guy is pretty good. Thompson had a four-point night against the Capitals, winning the game in overtime with his hat-trick goal. Thompson was named one of the NHL’s Three Stars of the Month along with Ovechkin this December. It was a fun game.” Multiple Capitals players had kudos to give the 26-year-old forward including TJ Oshie, who was on the ice for Thompson’s overtime-winner. Tough guy to play against and he made us pay out there.” [Buffalo acquired in a trade in 2018 that sent Ryan O’Reilly to St.

In the offensive zone, he routinely uses his body to shield the puck on the wall while pinching and keeps the pressure on the opposing defenders. He was on his off point and faked like he was going to take a point shot toward Kuemper, but he slid the puck down to Mittelstadt on the wing instead. The 37-year-old now has 28 goals on the year in only 40 games, and he could have easily had another goal or two with the offensive chances he generated. The NHL’s 2nd all-time goal scorer put on a show in the second half of the game to notch his 807th and 808th goals against the Sabres. He has been a perfect compliment to the offensive duo of Sinner and Thompson because he has the hands of a playmaker, size of a power-forward, and mind of a complete hockey player. On two of Thompson’s goals, including the game winner in overtime, the entire play started by the hustle and relentless forecheck of Tuch.

The Capitals will look to keep their point streak alive when they travel to take on the Columbus Blue Jackets for the front end of a back-to-back Thursday. They were whistled for two penalties in the final two minutes of regulation, but the penalty-kill unit did enough to get the game into extra time and back to even strength.
