Red Wings complete home-and-home sweep of Capitals with OT win

Moritz Seider scored the game-winning goal with 23.3 seconds remaining in overtime to lead the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-2 win over the visiting Washington Capitals on Sunday in Detroit, Mich.

Lucas Raymond and John Leonard each added a goal for the Red Wings. Andrew Copp and Emmitt Finnie recorded two assists, including on Seider's overtime winner. Cam Talbot recorded 31 saves, including 13 in the first period.

Ethen Frank scored both goals for the Capitals, his second career multi-goal game, while Dylan Strome finished with two assists.

The Red Wings swept the back-to-back home-and-home against the Capitals after a 5-2 win Saturday in Detroit.

Detroit had earlier opportunities during overtime after Strome's two-minute penalty for hooking 35 seconds in. The Red Wings produced four shots on goal against Charlie Lindgren but were unable to score.

It wasn't until Seider's slap shot with 23.3 seconds remaining in overtime that the Red Wings earned the two points.

With the Red Wings leading 2-1, it was Frank who sent the teams into overtime with his second goal of the game midway through the third period. Frank also opened the scoring for the Capitals in the first.

Trailing 1-0 in the second, Raymond got the Red Wings on the scoreboard with his 11th goal of the season and fourth on the power play. Just over five minutes later, Alex DeBrincat shot towards the net, but it was deflected in by Leonard's knee to give Detroit a 2-1 lead.

The Red Wings sit atop the Atlantic Division with 45 points. Despite the loss, the Capitals picked up a point and now have 43 this season.
