Matthew Phillips Bags Overtime Winner Tuesday
Washington Capitals forward Matthew Phillips was the overtime hero on Tuesday night as the Capitals beat the Bruins by a 5-4 score in overtime at the TD Garden in Boston. The 25-year-old scored the winner with less than a minute remaining in the extra frame after the two clubs went back and forth in the high-scoring affair. Phillips is looking to crack the Capitals' opening night roster after appearing in just three games with the Calgary Flames over the last two seasons. He did, however, collect a hefty 36 goals and 76 points across 66 games with the American Hockey League's Calgary Wranglers last season after notching 31 goals and 68 points across 65 AHL contests in 2021-22.
