(The Sports Xchange) – It took half an overtime to settle the back-and-forth playoff series opener between the Washington Capitals and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. T.J. Oshie completed a hat-trick when he scored the game-winning goal at 9:33 of overtime and the Capitals defeated the Penguins 4-3 in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semi-final. Oshie’s wraparound attempt snuck under the pad of goaltender Matthew Murphy and survived a lengthy video review.
