Washington: Sean Monahan scored his second goal of the game 1:40 into overtime to give the Calgary Flames a 3-2 win over the Washington Capitals on Friday night. Michael Frolik also scored for Calgary and Karri Ramo stopped 34 shots.
Michael Latta and Jay Beagle had the goals for Washington, and Phillipp Grubauer finished with 26 saves.
In overtime, Monahan took a pass from TJ Brodie and beat Grubauer from right in front. Washington coach Barry Trotz challenged the goal, claiming that Monahan was offside, but the goal was quickly confirmed.
Monahan has six goals this season, including four in the last four games.
The Flames, which lost two straight entered the game with the worst record in the Western Conference.
Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 28 shots and narrowly missed his 12th career shutout as Columbus held off Pittsburgh. Scott Hartnell scored his team-leading eighth goal to help the Blue Jackets improve to 5-5 under John Tortorella. Brandon Saad picked up his sixth with a power-play goal in the second period that gave Columbus a 2-0 lead.
Marc-Andre Fleury made 26 saves for the Penguins but Pittsburgh went 0 for 6 on the power play. Patric Hornqvist deflected a shot from the point past Bobrovsky with 52 seconds remaining to spoil Bobrovsky’s shutout bid. Hornqvist appeared to tie it with 13 seconds left but the referees waved it off after ruling Hornqvist intentionally kicked the puck into the net.
