At the time, the Capitals were trailing 4&ndash;0. The goal didn&rsquo;t change the outcome, as Carolina went on to win 5&ndash;1, led by a two-goal performance from Jackson Blake.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">THREE.
